© 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel. Aim: To evaluate the effect of iron chelators on iron-related pulmonary pathology and oxidative stress in an animal model of β-thalassemia. Methods: Pulmonary iron overload was induced in heterozygous β-globin knockout mice ( mu β th-3/+ , BKO). Over a period of 2 weeks,...
