Fig 11. Simulation of iron tracer administration by intravenous and intragastric routes.

Fig 11

A bolus of iron tracer is administered in the plasma as radioactive NTBI (simulating an intravenous injection) or as radioactive duodenal iron (simulating intragastric gavage). Total blood iron tracer is calculated as the sum of NTBI tracer, transferrin bound tracer, and RBC tracer. A- percentage of tracer present in blood four hours after intravenous injection in the wild type and HAMP-/-; B- percentage of tracer in blood four hours after intragastric gavage in wild type and HAMP-/-; C- tracer time course in the wild type intravenous injection; D- tracer time course in the HAMP-/- intravenous injection; E- tracer time course in the wild type intragastric gavage; F- tracer time course in the wild HAMP-/- intragastric gavage.
