  1. 1The 93-C diet contained 397 g/kg corn starch with an added 50 g/kg cellulose. Cellulose was removed from the 93-ID and both AIN-76 diets to prevent contamination with additional iron.
  2. 2Mineral mixes were adjusted such that the ID diets contained ≤ 3 mg Fe/kg diet, and the C diets contained ~40 mg Fe/kg diet.
