Figure 7.
The effect of green tea on total body and mitochondrial iron levels in mitoferrin and transferrin mutants. Green tea significantly reduced total body (A) and mitochondrial iron levels (B) in dmfrnBG00456 hypomorph mutants (*P<0.05 and **P<0.005, respectively, n=50 per treatment). Green tea did not affect total body iron levels (C) nor mitochondrial iron levels (D) of transferrin mutants (P>0.05, n=40 per treatment). Data are represented as means ± SEM and analyzed by student’s t-test.
