Figure 3From: The effect of feeding a low iron diet prior to and during gestation on fetal and maternal iron homeostasis in two strains of ratMaternal liver TfR and hepcidin expression. Maternal liver TfR (A) and hepcidin (B) mRNA expression in Rowett Hooded Lister (RHL) and Wistar rats exposed to a control or low iron diet prior to and during pregnancy. Data are presented as means ± s.e.m. for n = 8–11 per group. Expression is normalised to cDNA fluorescence at 80°C.Back to article page
