ABSTRACT
A technique of preparing Fe labelled plant foodstuffs is described and utilized to investigate the absorption of iron from common iron-rich Philippine plant foostuffs by anemic and non-anemic rats. Anemic rats did not show significantly larger amounts of absorbed iron as compared to the normal rats. It is concluded that iron-deficient subjects do not absorb food iron more efficiently than do normal subjects.(Author)
