RADIOACTIVE IRON ABSORPTION BY GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT

Abstract
Iron absorption is a function of the gastro-intestinal mucosal epithelium. The normal non-anemic dog absorbs little iron but chronic anemia due to blood loss brings about considerable absorption—perhaps 5 to 15 times normal. In general the same differences are observed in man (1).
