Iron transport by everted duodenal sacs in vitro was studied in mice with sex-linked anemia (gene symbol sla) (an inherited iron deficiency anemia), in normal mice, and in normal mice on iron-deficient and iron supplemented diets. Although the over-all mucosal uptake of iron was the same in sla and normal sacs, transport of iron to the inside of the sac was much decreased in sla. The iron transport defect in sla was emphasized by the fact that genotypically normal mice on an iron-deficient diet demonstrated greatly increased iron transport. Electrophoretic analysis of protein extracted from sla and normal sacs showed only one iron-binding fraction. The sla and normal fractions had the same mobility and corresponded in position to the major band of horse ferritin.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
