Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: Heme toxicity may contribute to the pathogenesis of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The primary defense against extracellular heme is provided by hemopexin, a serum and neuronal glycoprotein that binds it with very high affinity and mitigates its prooxidant effect. In the present study, the authors tested the hypothesis that hemopexin knockout mice would sustain more injury after experimental ICH than...
