[Iron concentration in various organs of rats following administration of various iron and protein loads].
In a 2 X 3 factorial experiment with growing rats the diet varied for the iron content (5, 25, 625 ppm) and for the protein content (5, 25, 45%). The diets were fed ad libitum for 35 days. At the end of the experiment the iron content of different organs was determined. Both experimental factors and their interactions influenced the iron concentration as well as fresh weight and dry matter dependent on organ. Especially the influence of deficient protein supply and of insufficient iron supply was very marked. Dependent on the iron supply there are different responses between storage and functional compounds of iron.
