We examined the relationship between measures of iron status, adipokines, and insulin resistance in patients with NAFLD in the presence and absence of venesection. This study forms part of the Impact of Iron on Insulin Resistance and Liver Histology in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (IIRON2) study, a prospective randomized controlled trial of venesection for adults with NAFLD.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how hepcidin and ferroportin work together in the body and how this affects iron-related health problems.
- Researchers created special tools to better understand how a new mutation in ferroportin affects its ability to move iron in cells.
- Findings show that the mutation disrupts normal iron transport and that the new tools can help improve treatments for iron-related diseases.
