Abstract
Fe loss was measured in mice and its role in homeostasis of Fe metabolism determined. Data obtained indicate a 10-fold range in Fe excretion under varying experimental conditions. These changes appear to function to maintain normal body Fe. In the mouse, absorption and excretion rates appear to be of the same order of magnitude in their capacity to regulate Fe balance.Keywords
