Activity Pattern of Iron-Deficient Rats

J Glover, A Jacobs
PMCID: PMC1788413  PMID: 5031688

Abstract

Iron-deficient rats appear to have a decrease in total activity and a disorder of diurnal rhythm. These are reversed by the administration of iron. The results may be relevant to the symptomatology of patients with iron deficiency anaemia.
