Red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) analyzed in male and female wild-type (HFE+/+) and mutant (HFE−/−) littermates at 10 weeks of age. HFE+/+ + iron and HFE−/− + iron are mice fed with an iron-supplemented diet containing 2% (w/w) carbonyl iron for 14 days before sacrifice. n, number of animals. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
