There are no significant differences in any of these parameters between wild type and knockout mice, or between males and females on any diet. *represents significant differences between low iron and normal diets within genders and genotypes. Data expressed as mean ± s.d.; n = 3–8. RBC; red blood cell; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean cell hemoglobin; MCHC, mean cell hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red cell distribution width.
