Hepcidin is taken up by ferroportin-rich organs. Mice received a single dose of radiolabeled hepcidin. One hour later, mice were perfused with PBS to remove blood, and organs were collected. *P = .03 by rank-sum and #P = .007 by t test compared with blood; &P < .04 by t test compared with intestine, lung, muscle, or paw.
