Curcumin Attenuates Iron Accumulation and Oxidative Stress in the Liver and Spleen of Chronic Iron-Overloaded Rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Iron overload is now recognized as a health problem in industrialized countries, as excessive iron is highly toxic for liver and spleen. The potential use of curcumin as an iron chelator has not been clearly identified experimentally in iron overload ...

Iron Overload in a Patient with Non-Transfusion-Dependent Hemoglobin H Disease and Borderline Serum Ferritin: Can We Rely on Serum Ferritin for Monitoring in This Group of Patients?

Case Reports in Oncology, 2020
Secondary iron overload is a common complication in the context of hematological diseases, as iron accumulates due to different mechanisms including chronic transfusion, increased gastrointestinal absorption, chronic hemolysis and underlying genetic ...

Extensive iron overload in bone marrow: A cause of pancytopenia in a thalassemia major patient – A case report

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2020
Iron overload-associated organ damage in transfusion-dependent anemias is a well-known phenomenon. Here, we discuss a case of 28-year-old, poorly chelated thalassemia major patient, whose blood workup revealed pancytopenia and moderately raised serum ...

Females Are Protected From Iron‐Overload Cardiomyopathy Independent of Iron Metabolism: Key Role of Oxidative Stress

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundSex‐related differences in cardiac function and iron metabolism exist in humans and experimental animals. Male patients and preclinical animal models are more susceptible to cardiomyopathies and heart failure.

Iron-overload myopathy [PDF]

International Journal of Hematology, 2011
A 66-year-old male patient presented with a 4-month history of progressive muscle weakness. Twelve years prior to presentation he was evaluated for fatigue, weight loss, new-onset diabetes and elevated liver enzymes and was diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis, homozygous for the C282Y mutation in the HFE gene.

Protective effects of deferasirox and N-acetyl-L-cysteine on iron overload-injured bone marrow

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2017
Using an iron overload mouse model, we explored the protective effect of deferasirox (DFX) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) on injured bone marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) induced by iron overload. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with
