The Oral Iron Chelator Deferiprone Protects Against Systemic Iron Overload–Induced Retinal Degeneration in Hepcidin Knockout Mice

PURPOSE. To investigate the retinal-protective effects of the oral iron chelator deferiprone (DFP) in mice lacking the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin (Hepc). These Hepc knockout (KO) mice have age-dependent systemic and retinal iron accumulation leading to retinal degeneration. METHODS. Hepc KO mi...
