)
• iron deficiency in the spleen
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• duodenal and hepatic iron accumulation is associated with increased ferritin L-chain expression and splenic iron deficiency is associated with decreased ferritin L-chain expression, however no differences in trans-ferrin staturation values

• however, no difference is seen in serum iron levels
|
• iron deficiency in the spleen
|
• increase in iron content in the liver
