59Fe was administered by gavage and percentage administered iron absorbed was determined as described in “Materials and methods.” +/+ indicates wild type; −/−, Hfe knockout; Y/Y, C282Y knockin. Error bars represent SEM. The number of animals in each group is shown above columns. *P < .04 compared with wild type mice.
