lron is pivotal in producing tissue-damaging reactive oxygen metabolites. Our aim is to determine the antiinflammatory activity of deferiprone, an oral iron chelator, in experimental colitis and gastritis. Colitis was induced by intraceccal administration of 2 ml 5% acetic acid or by intracolonic ad

Porphyria cutanea tarda is a liver disease characterized by elevated hepatic iron and excessive production of uroporphyrin (URO). Phlebotomy is an effective treatment that probably acts by reducing hepatic iron. Here we used Hfe(-/-) mice to compare the effects on hepatic URO accumulation of two dif
## BACKGROUND. The siderophore desferrioxamine mesylate (DFO) is used routinely in clinical practice to treat diseases of iron (Fe) overload. Recent studies suggest that DFO and other chelators may have potential in the treatment of cancer. The current study reports the findings obtained when a nu
## Abstract Alterations in iron levels are likely to influence the biological actions of Mn in PC12 cells, because both metals are transported via the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1; also Nramp2 or DCT1). Studies were performed to determine the effect of the iron chelator desferrioxamine (DfO)
