Abstract
In the placenta of NH, increases in expressions of TFR1, transferrin, and ferritin of which those of TFR1 were especially marked, reflect increased iron influx from the mother to fetus. The hepcidin observed on the surface and in the cytoplasm of STB of NH is suggested to be from the mother, possibly to compensate for the decreased fetal liver-derived hepcidin.
