Gene expression of the analysed molecules in controls, patients with alcoholic liver disease without iron overload (ALD without overload), with iron overload (ALD overloaded), and anaemia (ALD anaemia). (A) mRNA expression of DMT1, (B) FPN1, (C) DCYTB, (D) HEPH, (E) TFR1, (F) HFE. (G) Protein expression of DMT1, (H) FPN1, (I) DCYTB, (J) HEPH. Results are depicted as means ± SEM. Statistically significant differences are indicated by *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001.
