Fig. 7. In vitro rate of ferrous iron (1 µmol l^–1 Fe²⁺) absorption in the posterior region of the intestine of the European flounder at different pH values. The pH of the intestinal lumen changed over the experimental period; see text for details. Values are means + S.E.M. (N=5–6). There were no significant differences between rates of iron absorption.
