Host response to LI challenge. (A) Total serum iron in mice throughout baseline (B₇ and B₁₄) and LI challenge (LI₇ and LI₁₄) in mice shown in Fig. 2. All P values represent paired (nonparametric) Wilcoxon rank sum tests with Benjamini-Hochberg correction. (B) Iron-responsive gene expression in mice after 2 weeks of LI challenge. The only nonsignificant change in gene expression compared to control mice (P > 0.05 by t test) was Dmt1 in cecal tissue.
