Chronic Tf supplementation causes iron depletion in peripheral tissues. C57/Bl6 mice were administered apo-Tf (n=9; 30 mg kg−1; subcutaneously) seven injections delivered every third day for 21 days and compared with controls (n=9). Perfused tissue was analyzed for iron by AAS. Data are means±s.e.m. *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
