Abstract excerpt
Excessive absorption of dietary iron results in pathologic hepatic iron accumulation in the genetic disorder hemochromatosis. Genetic factors have also been suggested to play a role in African iron overload that is induced by the intake of iron-rich fermented beer. We have used inbred strains of...
