Melatonin alleviates Cd-induced iron metabolism disorder in spg. (A and B) ferrous iron. Scale bar = 100 μm. (C) Total iron. (D) Fth1 mRNA. (E) FTH1 protein. (F) Hmox1 mRNA. (G) HO-1 protein. (H) TFR1 protein. (I) FPN1 mRNA. (J) FPN1 protein. (K) Dmt1 mRNA. The data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA. Data were presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 compared to the control group. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 compared to the Cd group.
