Therapeutic Effects of Iron Chelation in Atorvastatin-Induced Intracranial Hemorrhage of Zebrafish Larvae

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) acutely and severely damages brain function.1,2 The prognosis of ICH is poor due to the drastic and rapid progression of its pathology, and the lack of effective treatments presents a significant unmet clinical need. Therefore, novel therapeutic agents for ICH have the potential to significantly improve clinical outcomes. The collagenase-induced rodent ICH model is the most commonly used experimental ICH model.3 However, detailed live imaging of hematoma development in rodent models is inherently limited, as rodents are opaque.
