Iron Supplementation during Three Consecutive Days of Endurance Training Augmented Hepcidin Levels

Abstract: Iron supplementation contributes an effort to improving iron status among athletes, but it does not always prevent iron deficiency. In the present study, we explored the effect of three consecutive days of endurance training (twice daily) on the hepcidin-25 (hepcidin) level. The effect of iron supplementation during this period was also determined. Fourteen male endurance athletes were enrolled and randomly assigned to either an iron-treated condition (Fe condition, n = 7) or a placebo condition (Control condi… Show more

“…In this regard, the Burden et al [ 65 ] study seems to suggest that in iron-deficient athletes, iron supplementation (500 mg·day −1 ) provokes a transitory elevation of this mineral, despite the absence of a direct improvement in performance [ 65 , 95 ]. Of note, moderate doses of iron supplementation (24 mg·day −1 ) have also been reported as effectively increasing serum hepcidin in iron deficient-athletes [ 96 ]. Thus, these findings indicate that ferritin deficiency determines the response of hepcidin to endurance exercise, and accordingly, iron supplementation may activate a counter-regulative mechanism by which hepcidin is released into circulation after a single session of endurance exercise.…”

“…This strategy was chosen as an attempt to mimic transient increases in training volume, which are frequently seen under real situation during training program (e.g., during a training camp). In addition, the same endurance training strategy was previously shown to increase muscle damage and inflammatory response (Ishibashi et al, 2017 ). However, further studies are needed to confirm whether our findings can be applied to long-term training regimens.…”

“…As a limitation of the present study, we were unable to conduct a dietary survey (e.g., regarding to total energy intake and iron intake). Increasing iron intake augments basal serum hepcidin levels in female long-distance runners 42 . Therefore, further studies to address the effects of daily energy intake on the exercise-induced increases in hepcidin may be important.…”
