Haemoglobin and tissue iron levels of mice administered Telfairia occidentalis extract or FeSO4.
| Control | Telfairia occidentalis | FeSO4 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hb (dL) | 8.3 ± 0.7 | 10.2 ± 0.5 | 11.6 ± 1.1* |
| Ferritin (ng/ml) | 41.0 ± 6.1 | 41.4 ± 8.1 | 38.8 ± 3.2 |
| Serum iron (ng/dL) | 457.3 ± 34.0 | 530.5 ± 42.2 | 612.3 ± 42.2 |
Statistical significance is indicated relative to the control treatment group, ** P < 0.05. Data are shown as means ± SEM, n = 4 replicates, typical of two experiments.
