Fig. 3

Body weight (a) and organ weight index values of the liver (b), spleen (c), right tibia (d), and right femur (e) of WT, BKO (non-iron-loading), and iron loaded BKO mice treated with DI, DFP, EGCG, GTE, GTE + DFP, and VD3. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Accordingly, *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001 when compared to WT or BKO. WT; wild-type mice, BKO; β-globin knockout mice, DI; Iron loaded BKO treated by deionized water, DFP; Iron loaded BKO treated by deferiprone, EGCG; Iron loaded BKO treated by epigallocatechin 3-gallate, GTE; Iron loaded BKO treated by green tea extract, VD3; Iron loaded BKO treated by vitamin D3. Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test.
