Brief Summary
Normal body iron store value in overweight subjects is currently not described in literature. The comparison of this value with body iron levels in patients suffering from dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome (DIOS) could allow to quantify iron overload in this condition. The purpose of the study is to determine iron levels in healthy overweight volunteers, and to compare them to DIOS patients treated with phlebotomy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Amount of mobilized iron (AMI) in grams collected by phlebotomies to have a ferritin level < 50 µg/L
Phlebotomies will be performed every 14 days at the Clinical Investigation Unit, until ferritin level is below 50 µg/mL and/or hemoglobin is below 12 g/dL.
Every 14 days, up to 3 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Serum hepcidin level variation during the phlebotomy
Every 14 days, up to 3 months
Serum soluble transferrin receptor variation during the phlebotomy
Every 14 days, up to 3 months
Study Arms (1)
Phlebotomy
OTHERPhlebotomies will be performed every 14 days at the Clinical Investigation Unit (CIU) until the value of ferritin level is below 50 µg/mL and/or the value of hemoglobin level is below 12 g/dL.
