Values are expressed as means ±standard error (n=6), LSD: least significance difference DFO: Deferoxamine, TIBC: total iron binding capacity, HEPC: hepcidin, and NTBI: nontransferrin bound iron. a: highly significant difference as compared to control group (P< 0.001). b: highly significant difference as compared to iron overload group (P< 0.001). c: non-significant difference as compared to iron + DFO group (P > 0.05). d: significant difference as compared to iron + DFO group (P < 0.05). |
