      Dusek, Petr; Hofer, Tim; Alexander, Jan; Roos, Per M.; Aaseth, Jan Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Disruption of cerebral iron regulation appears to have a role in aging and in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders. Possible unfavorable impacts of iron accumulation include reactive oxygen species ...
    • Chelation Combination - A Strategy to Mitigate the Neurotoxicity of Manganese, Iron, and Copper? 

      Aaseth, Jan; Nurchi, Valeria M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The chelating thiol dimercaptosuccinate (DMSA) and the traditional agent D-penicillamine (PSH) are effective in enhancing the urinary excretion of copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in poisoned individuals. However, DMSA, PSH, EDTA ...
