Abstract: Iron overload is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in some diseases such as beta thalassemia. Conventional therapies with phlebotomy and iron chelating agents have shown no profound effect on iron excessive disease. Moreover, hepcidin as an iron transport inhibitor can absorb more iron than normal level following overexpression in macrophages.
