Developmental changes in serum ferritin of piglets.

摘要: Serum ferritin concentration of 40 nursing piglets was measured by a two-site immuno-radiometric assay to assess relationships serum Fe-related blood characteristics and nonheme Fe the liver. Hemoglobin rapidly decreased after 55% birth level at 2 4 wk age when exhibited severe symptoms deficiency. However, an im injection 1 ml iron-dextran (100 mg Fe) 3 d restored hemoglobin near 10 g/100 age. low age, but increased From onward, unsupplemented animals linearly declined lowest With injection, however, systemic peaked both groups almost depleted Although single 100 from is adequate maximize weight gain maintain normal level, exhausted gradually followed quadratic rise 8 The elevation group paralleled that concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
