By comparing piglets with and without
iron -
deficient diets in the first four weeks of life, and then again at eight weeks
after all received sufficient
iron for four weeks, the researchers were able to determine whether the brain anomalies seen at four weeks persisted
after the
iron -
deficient piglets» diets were corrected.
In people with a history of
iron deficiency, this could be more significant... I will be exploring the mechanisms of why I became somewhat
deficient after the baby is born and when I'm back to my guinea - pigging ways.
