Hepatic iron deposition in TSOD mouse.
Representative findings of Berlin-blue-stained liver sections from TSNO (a), control-diet-fed TSOD (b) and Ghes-fed TSOD (c) mice (400× magnification). The ratio of Berlin-blue-stained area was calculated as the average of the ratios of Berlin-blue-stained area to ROI area in five regions (d). Results are expressed as means ± standard error (n = 6 each). Statistical analyses were carried out using ANOVA (Fisher’s PLSD test).
