dc.description.abstractThe guinea pig clears circulating tissue ferritin in a manner different from other mammals. Previous work in man and in rats has shown that injected tissue ferritin is removed from the plasma predominantly by the liver; however, in the guinea pig it is cleared predominantly by red cell precursors and furthermore, the ferritin iron is utilised directly for haem synthesis. During pregnancy, the foeto-placental complex also has a high requirement for iron.en_ZA
