Abstract
Higher concns. of Fe were found in the livers, spleens and kidneys of female rats than in the corresponding organs of male rats. The differences were greatest at and after the 100th day of life. Increasing the intake of Fe 2-6 times raised the concns. found in all 3 organs, but did not alter the female-male relationship.Keywords
