short-term chelating efficacy of deferoxamine in iron overloaded rat hepatocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
abstract background: iron overload is a clinical consequence of repeated blood transfusions and causes significant organ damage, morbidity, and mortality in the absence of proper treatment. the primary targets of iron chelators used for treating transfusional iron overload are the prevention of iron ingress into tissues and its intracellular scavenging. the present study was aimed at elucidating the capacity of clinically important iron chelator, deferoxamine to gain access to intracellular iron pools of key iron accumulating cells (hepatocytes). material and methods: the study was conducted as an in vivo investigation. iron-rich chow fed rats and regular chow fed rats were given deferoxamine and hepatic iron concentration was measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy. results: in iron-loaded rats, the results showed that deferoxamine did not alter hepatocyte iron levels compared with the control group but increased urinary excretion. conclusion: we conclude that short term deferoxamine treatment is ineffective in iron removal from rat hepatocytes. key words: deferoxamine, iron overload, hepatocytes.

متن کاملHBED: A potential alternative to deferoxamine for iron-chelating therapy.
To examine the potential clinical usefulness of the hexadentate phenolic aminocarboxylate iron chelator N, N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N-diacetic acid (HBED) for the chronic treatment of transfusional iron overload, we compared the iron excretion induced by subcutaneous (SC) injection of HBED and deferoxamine (DFO), the reference chelator, in rodents and primates. In the non-iron-ov...
متن کاملComparison of Deferoxamine, Activated Charcoal, and Vitamin C in Changing the Serum Level of Fe in Iron Overloaded Rats
Background: Iron is an essential mineral for normal cellular physiology but its overload can lead to cell injury. For many years, deferoxamine injection has been used as an iron chelator for treatment of iron overload. The aim of this study is to compare oral deferoxamine, activated charcoal, and vitamin C, as an absorbent factor of Fe, in changing the serum level of iron in iron overload r...

از گذشته تا کنون، تحقیقات بسیاری صورت گرفته است که همگی به گونه ای بر مثمر ثمر بودن استفاده از استراتژی های یادگیری لغت در یک زبان بیگانه اذعان داشته اند. این تحقیق به بررسی تاثیر دو روش مختلف آموزش واژگان انگلیسی (کلیدی و بافتی) بر تلفظ و دانش لغوی فراگیران ایرانی زیر متوسط زبان انگلیسی و بر ماندگاری آن در حافظه می پردازد. به این منظور، تعداد شصت نفر از زبان آموزان ایرانی هشت تا چهارده ساله با...
15 صفحه اولIgnition limits of short-term overloaded electric wires in microgravity
Ignition phenomena of electric wires carrying short-term excess electric currents were investigated in microgravity with experiments and calculations. Microgravity experiments were conducted in 100 m and 50 m drop towers and calculations were carried out with a one dimensional cylindrical coordinate system. The experimental results showed that the limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) under a giv...
