doi: 10.1017/S0007114525103516
Figure Lengend Snippet: Median levels of parameters measured at baseline to define Fe deficiency in healthy male and female participants in the BEST-D study. Box and whisker plots show the median of each parameter with individual outliers shown above and below the inter-quintile range for (a) Fe, (b) transferrin (Tf), (c) transferrin saturation (TSAT%), (d) Hepcidin and (e) correlation of hepcidin with TSAT% (below dashed line may be deficient in Fe).
Article Snippet: Commercially available ELISA were used to measure bioactive hepcidin (DRG product EIA5782, Lot 314K038) and sTfR (Biovendor product RD194011100, Lot E17046 ).
Techniques: Whisker Assay
