Results shown are P values for nontransformed data. Logarithmic transformation of data eliminated the significant interactions for mucosal retention, mucosal transfer, and total mucosal uptake, but not the significant effects of iron deficiency or hepcidin.
Wt indicates body weight; and Hb, hemoglobin level.
