Viceversa, in mice fed a high-fed diet inducing weight gain, hepatic steatosis and IR were accompanied by alterations in expression of hepcidin (a protein that regulates iron homeostasis in response to erythropoietic activity) which preceded dysregulation of iron concentrations particularly in liver and visceral adipose tissue, with no effect on serum iron levels (Varghese et al., 2020)
There is one more mechanistic thread worth naming because it is often invoked loosely: the copper itself
Metabolism and Bioavailability Metabolism The hydrolysis of glucosinolates, which is catalyzed by a class of enzymes called myrosinases (-thioglucosidases), leads to the formation of breakdown compounds, such as thiocyanates, isothiocyanates, indoles, oxazolidine-2-thiones (e.g., goitrin), epithionitrile, and nitrile (see the article on Cruciferous Vegetables)
