Looking forward to presenting the results from our study evaluating the associations between iron status and ischemic stroke risk at #ISC24 in Phoenix! https://t.co/Ldg4Ivik8Q @AHAScience@theobrienlab
Just published in #AJCN! We found placental ferroportin (the only known iron exporter in mammals) to be strongly associated with neonatal rather than maternal iron status and erythropoietic drive. @theobrienlab@nutritionorg@AJCNutrition@CornellNutri
