a Ferritin levels of Caco-2 cells treated with digests of: YCF C alone; YCF C + GOS and FOS; and YCF C, GOS and FOS, +ascorbic acid (AA, 114 μmol/L; ≈1:4 Fe/AA molar ratio). Increase in ferritin formation was tested using the Jonckheere–Terpstra test and is significant in the order YCF C alone, YCF C + GOS and FOS, and YCF C, GOS and FOS, +AA (p = 0.0048). Ferritin levels of Caco-2 cells treated with digests of: YCF D alone; YCF D + GOS and FOS; and YCF D, GOS and FOS, + AA (114 μmol/L; ≈1:4 Fe/AA molar ratio). Increase in ferritin formation was tested using the Jonckheere–Terpstra test and is significant in the order YCF D alone, YCF D + GOS and FOS, and YCF D, GOS and FOS, and AA (p = 0.0001)
