Weanling rats were given a normal diet and at maturity were given by injection 3500 micro g Fe as iron dextran. Another group was given a diet low in Fe. All the rats were given by injection 3.3 micro Ci 59Fe as ferrous sulfate which gave 50 000 to 70 000 counts/ min total body radioactivity after 24 h. After 2 weeks some of the rats in both groups were mated.
