Increased oxysterols associated with iron accumulation in the brains and visceral organs of acaeruloplasminaemia patients.

Abstract excerpt

Acaeruloplasminaemia is characterized by excessive neurovisceral iron accumulation due to mutation of the caeruloplasmin gene. Excess iron functions as a potent catalyst of biological oxidation, and increased iron concentration is associated with the products of lipid peroxidation in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid. We investigated whether the amount of iron accumulated paralleled lipid peroxidation levels in...
