Relative liver copper (a), liver iron (b), hemoglobin (c), and plasma iron concentrations (d) in P26 female pups and Dams1 fed modified AIN-76A diet or P25 male pups and Dams2 fed modified AIN-93G diets. Values are means ± SEM (n = 4). Cu-deficient means (gray fill) were significantly different than Cu-adequate (open fill), *P < 0.05 (Student’s t test). Dams2 data were analyzed by ANOVA. Means with different letters are significantly different, P < 0.05. Iron-deficient bars (solid fill) are shown
