Table 1.

Unidirectional uptake rates, K_in, of free and Tf-bound iron in brain capillaries and capillary-depleted brain

Samples	K_in (μL/min/g)
Samples	⁵⁹Fe-only	⁵⁹Fe-Tf
Brain capillaries	182.00 ± 22.93^a	136.00 ± 25.87^*^a
Capillary-depleted brain	1.68 ± 0.56	1.52 ± 0.48^*

Values are mean ± SEM, n = 3–5.

^*

Not significant for ⁵⁹Fe-only versus ⁵⁹Fe-Tf.

^a

p < 0.001, for brain capillaries versus capillary-depleted brain.
