Diagram depicting calculations used to determine maternal absorption, total iron recovered, milligrams of iron per kilogram of weight, and partitioning of iron between maternal, neonatal, and placental compartments. Maternal absorption was calculated using RBC iron incorporation of 57Fe 2 wk postdosing. Stable iron enrichment in the neonatal and placental compartments was calculated using samples collected at birth.
