Iron Chelation Therapy

Within the last few years, iron research has yielded exciting new insights into the under­ standing of normal iron homeostasis. However, normal iron physiology offers little protec­ tion from the toxic effects of pathological iron accumulation, because nature did not equip us with effective mechanis...
