Thalassemic diseases including homozygous β-thalassemia and β-thalassemia/Hb E (β-Thal/Hb E) are prevalent in Southeast Asia. Iron overload is a common complication in β-thalassemia patients which induces intracellular oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (LPO). LPO end products generate miscodin...
