In the citing paper
“A systematic review by Badenhorst et al.29 indicates that iron homeostasis in women is subject to complex, cyclical regulation influenced by physiological fluctuations in sex hormone levels.”

In the citing paper
“Subsequently, in the late follicular phase, rising estrogen levels may further facilitate hepcidin suppression, thereby optimizing Fe recovery.”
From Impact of a single swimming session on inflammatory response and iron homeostasis in adolescent female athletes during the luteal phase (2025) · cites this paper as [29]
In the citing paper
“In contrast, during the luteal phase, the rise in progesterone levels is associated with increased hepcidin expression, contributing to more stable iron metabolism markers, e.g., ferritin (FERR), serum Fe, and transferrin saturation, as reported in numerous studies.”
From Impact of a single swimming session on inflammatory response and iron homeostasis in adolescent female athletes during the luteal phase (2025) · cites this paper as [29]
In the citing paper
“During menstruation, in response to blood loss, a decrease in hepcidin levels is observed, which physiologically enhances the body’s capacity to absorb dietary Fe.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
