From: High-iron consumption decreases copper accumulation and colon length, and alters serum lipids
Effects of high-iron feeding on hematological parameters of rats. Five-week-old, male, SD rats were fed one of six diets, which varied only in their iron and copper content for 5 weeks ad libitum. Hb (A), HCT (B), serum non-heme Fe (C), TIBC (D), and Tf saturation (E). The results are presented as means ± SDs; n = 10 per individual group. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test for further comparisons. Different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) among the labeled means. L low; Ad adequate; H high; Hb hemoglobin; Hct hematocrit; TIBC totaliron-binding capacity; Tf  transferrin
