Modulation of Cerebral Blood Flow Using Iron Chelators

Summary

The purpose of this study is determine if the iron chelator, desferrioxamine can increase blood levels of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 (HIF-1 protein) and to see if there is a corresponding increase in blood flow to the brain.
