Fig. 5. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in gill (A), intestine (B)
and liver (C) of rainbow trout fed a casein-based diet containing low (filled
square), normal (filled diamond) and high (filled circle) levels of iron.
Values are means ± S.E.M. (N=6). Other details and
statistics as in Fig. 1. No
statistical differences were observed between TBARS of initial fish and those
on the normal-Fe diet at week 2. Insets are log[Fe] in tissue correlated with
TBARS for intestine (B inset, y=0.33x+0.55, for all diets
N=27) and liver (panel C insert, y=8.79x+1.72, for
normal and high-Fe diets, N=18).
