From: Acute invariant NKT cell activation triggers an immune response that drives prominent changes in iron homeostasis

Figure 2

Iron metabolism changes induced by α-GalCer-mediated iNKT activation are abolished in CD1d−/− mice. Wild-type and CD1d−/−mice were injected with vehicle (CTL) or 100 μg/Kg body weight of α-GalCer. (A) Liver weight. (B) Serum iron. (C) Hepcidin mRNA expression. Each symbol represents one mouse with the bar indicating the mean; n = 8 per group. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA. n.s., not significant compared to control mice (CTL) injected with vehicle.
