Abstract
Elevated iron levels are associated with many types of neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. However, these elevated iron levels do not necessarily correlate with elevated levels of the iron storage or transport proteins, ferritin and transferrin. As such, little is known about the form of this excess iron.Keywords
