The heme-hemopexin scavenging system is active in the brain, and associates with outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Background and Purpose - Long-term outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is potentially linked to cytotoxic heme. Free heme is bound by hemopexin (Hpx) and rapidly scavenged by CD91. We hypothesized that heme scavenging in the brain would be associated with outcome after haemorrhage. Methods...
