Abstract
► Oxidative injury plays an important role in retinal degeneration. ► Limiting iron bioavailability may protect the retina by reducing formation of ROS. ► Zn/DFO provides functional and structural rescue in the rd10 mouse model of RP. ► We suggest that modulation of iron bioavailability underlies rescue effect of Zn/DFO.
