Hematological Profile of Iron Overload in Rats Administered with Fruit Extract of Mahkota Dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa)

Abstract: Background: Repeated blood transfusions lead to an accumulation of iron that exceeds the body's iron storage capacity. Free iron is able to catalyze the formation of hydroxyl radicals that cause oxidative damage and cell death. The use of iron chelating medicines for iron chelation therapy is limited by side effects. Mangiferin is a natural bioactive compound with iron chelating and antioxidant activity. Mahkota dewa is a plant native to Indonesia that contains mangiferin. Objectives: The aim of this study was… Show more

“…Increased iron absorption in the small intestinal mucosa and frequent red blood cell transfusions can lead to iron overload in patients with chronic anemia such as β-thalassemia major. Before recently, long-term iron chelation therapy with iron chelating medications was the standard for managing iron overload, particularly in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia 1 . Hemosiderosis is an iron overload condition with increased iron deposition in tissues without clinical signs 2 .…”
