Values are means ± SD, n = 11–13 litters/diet group. Means in a row without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. CN-40, control; FID-40, formerly iron deficient fed 0.04-g/kg iron diet beginning at postnatal d 8; FID-400, formerly iron deficient fed 0.4-g/kg iron diet beginning at postnatal d 8; P, postnatal day; TID, totally iron deficient.
