Hepatic iron in the control of iron absorption in a rat liver transplantation model.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Immunosuppression in renal transplantation, although manageable in the short-term, is a major hurdle for long-term graft survival. Recently, increased frequencies of CD4CD25 regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been described as an additional mechanism that induces alloimmune tolerance. METHODS:We assessed 64 re...
