Serum and tissue iron values in aceruloplasminemic mice

Mice	Hb, g/dl	Serum iron, μg/dl	TIBC, μg/dl	Transferrin saturation, %	Ferritin, ng/ml	Iron content, μg/g dry wt
Mice	Hb, g/dl	Serum iron, μg/dl	TIBC, μg/dl	Transferrin saturation, %	Ferritin, ng/ml	Liver	Spleen
Cp^+/+	14.1 ± 3.3	252 ± 25	477 ± 45	43 ± 7	112 ± 10	252 ± 64	224 ± 63
Cp^−/−	13.9 ± 3.4	245 ± 100	517 ± 30	33 ± 5	410 ± 103^*	666 ± 130^*	1,294 ± 94^*

Values are means ± standard deviations, n = 3 from each group at 1 year of age. Hb, hemoglobin; (Hb), TIBC, total iron binding capacity. Significant differences were observed between Cp^+/+ and Cp^−/− mice for serum ferritin, (∗, P < 0.001), liver tissue iron content, (∗, P < 0.001), and spleen tissue iron content (∗, P < 0.001 in all cases).
