Table 1.

Intracerebroventricular deferoxamine dose-tolerance chart

ICV dose Total mice tested Tolerance
0.8 mg/kg (~0.02 mg per mouse) 3 Well tolerated
8 mg/kga (~0.2 mg per mouse) 3 Well tolerated
80 mg/kg (~2 mg per mouse) 2 Immediately died

Wild-type mice were injected with a one-time intracerebroventricular (ICV) dose of deferoxamine diluted in normal saline, to test how well each dose would be tolerated

aThe highest dose tolerated was chosen for all experimental procedures
