Cerebral iron overload causes brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats and pigs. The current study examined whether an iron chelator, deferoxamine, can reduce ICH-induced DNA damage in pigs. Pigs received an injection of autologous blood into the right frontal lobe. Deferoxamine (50 mg/kg, i.m.) or vehicle was given 2 h after ICH and then every 12 h up to 7 days. Animals were killed at day 3 or day 7 after ICH to examine iron accumulation and DNA damage. We found that ICH resulted in the development of a reddish perihematomal zone, with iron accumulation and DNA damage within that zone. Deferoxamine treatment reduced the perihematomal reddish zone, and the number of Perls' (p
