Figure 2From: Iron deficiency causes a shift in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) subunit composition in rat skeletal muscleMean body mass of control and iron deficient groups. The rate of growth of the ID group was beginning to decrease by the end of the treatment period, whereas the C group did not show a decrease in growth rate. The mean body mass of the C group was significantly greater than the ID group by day 10 of treatment (p<0.01). A difference that continued to increase throughout the treatment period (n=15).Back to article page
