Abstract
In most procedures utilizing total body counting to measure iron absorption in humans, the assumption is made that iron located in the gastrointestinal tract is counted with the same efficiency as Fe59 distributed throughout the body. This assumption was found to be in error in a significant number of subjects.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
