Reduced plasma iron and transferrin saturation in Tmprss6−/− mice

Plasma iron, μg/dLUIBC, μg/dLTf saturation, %
Tmprss6+/+ 113.3 ± 6.6 237.5 ± 41.5 34.1 ± 3.5 
Tmprss6−/− 47.9 ± 5.8* 375.2 ± 14.6 11.3 ± 1.3* 
Plasma iron, μg/dLUIBC, μg/dLTf saturation, %
Tmprss6+/+ 113.3 ± 6.6 237.5 ± 41.5 34.1 ± 3.5 
Tmprss6−/− 47.9 ± 5.8* 375.2 ± 14.6 11.3 ± 1.3* 

Plasma iron content, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC), and transferrin (Tf) saturation were determined in 6-week-old wild-type and Tmprss6−/− mice. Data are shown as means plus or minus SEM.
