Abstract: Iron content is increased in the substantia nigra of persons with Parkinson’s disease and may contribute to the pathophysiology of the disorder. Early research suggests that the iron chelator deferiprone can reduce nigrostriatal iron content in persons with Parkinson’s disease, but its effects on disease progression are unclear.
