MODULATION OF CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW USING IRON CHELATOR

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。本研究的目的是探讨去铁胺对脑血流的影响。去铁胺是一种从体内收集铁的药物，经常用于血液中铁含量过高或血液计数低的人。众所周知，这将增加流向手臂的血流量，但测试将确定它是否会增加流向大脑的血流量。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of desferrioxamine on brain flow. Desferrioxamine is a drug that collects iron from the body and is used regularly in people who have to much iron in their blood or those who have low blood counts. It is known that this will increase blood flow to the arm, however testing will be done to determine if it increases blood flow to the brain.
