Core Tip	Chronic alcohol intake induces inflammation and also alters iron homeostasis by inhibiting the expression of hepcidin in the liver. Besides being the key iron-regulatory hormone, hepcidin also acts as an acute phase protein, and is induced by endotoxin and inflammation. The mechanisms by which chronic alcohol consumption can lead to the suppression of hepcidin expression despite the presence of inflammatory processes in the liver are unknown. This study investigates these mechanisms by using wildtype and toll-like receptor 4 mutant mice, and chronic alcohol administration as a model.
