Across
  1. 3. storage form of iron
  2. 5. erythropoiesis will ---hepcidin production
  3. 8. inflammation will ----hepcidin production
  4. 9. transport form of iron
  5. 12. protein-intracellular-iron balance
  6. 13. converts Fe3+ to Fe2+
  7. 15. converts fe2+ to fe3+ in the enterocyte
Down
  1. 1. produced by hepatocyte to regulate iron levels
  2. 2. transports fe2+ from the cell(enterocyte,macrophages)
  3. 4. form of dietary iron that is rapidly absorbed
  4. 6. increases dietary iron absorption
  5. 7. transports fe2+ into the enterocyte(short)
  6. 10. less iron stores will ---hepcidin production
  7. 11. poor source of iron and decreases iron absorption
  8. 14. converts fe2+ to fe3+ in macrophages
