Abstract

Hepatic iron content was determined in post mortem specimens from a wide range of avian species collected over a 12-month period. The majority (> 90%) of these specimens (n = 40) showed high iron content (up to 12 mg Fe/g tissue). The highest concentrations were associated with fibrosis and regenerative nodules. Dietary analysis indicated that the iron intake was not excessive, suggesting that iron-loading was due to enhanced intestinal absorption.

摘要

在12个月期间收集的来自多种鸟类的死后标本中测定了肝脏铁含量。这些标本中的大多数（>90%，n = 40）显示铁含量高（高达12毫克铁/克组织）。最高浓度与纤维化和再生结节相关。饮食分析表明铁摄入量不过高，提示铁过载是由于肠道吸收增强所致。
