Current iron overload therapeutics have inherent drawbacks including perpetuated low hepcidin. Here, we unveiled that lactate, a potent hepcidin agonist, effectively reduced serum and hepatic iron levels in mouse models of iron overload with an improved erythropoiesis in β-thalassemic mice.
目前的铁过载治疗方法存在固有缺陷,包括持续低水平的血红素。在这里,我们揭示了乳酸,一种有效的血红素激动剂,可有效降低铁过载小鼠模型的血清和肝脏铁水平,并改善β-地中海贫血小鼠的红细胞生成。
