Nanako Hayashi is a Graduate Student in Sport and Health Science of Ritsumeikan University, and her research manuscript was published in European Journal of Applied Physiology, which collaborated with Professor Kazushige Goto. This study investigated hepcidin response (an iron regulating hormone) following an acute endurance exercise session in combined “heat” and “hypoxia” environment. Consequently, hepcidin responses were similar between exercise in “hypoxia” and “combined heat and hypoxia” environments, suggesting no effect of supplemented heat stress during endurance exercise on exercise-induce hepcidin response in hypoxia.
