Tissue iron is negatively correlated with TERC or TERT mRNA expression: a heterochronic parabiosis study in mice
Figure 5. The effects of heterochronic parabiosis on the contents of iron and the expression of iron metabolism proteins in the heart of mice. The contents of iron (A), and the expression of TfR1, Fpn1, Ft-H, Ft-L and CP proteins (B – E) in the heart were determined in Y-Y, Y-O(Y), O-O and Y-O(O) mice using western blot analysis or the methods described previously. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n=4). *p<0.05 and **p<0.01 vs. the control.
