(<b>B</b>) Peripheral blood smears of <i>ms/−</i> mice showing increased numbers of acanthocytes. High magnification images of a normal and an abnormally-shaped erythrocyte are shown (insets). Six animals from both the control and <i>ms/−</i> male groups were examined and one typical sample of each is shown. Bars correspond to 5 µm. (<b>C</b>) Plasma levels of haptoglobin (Hp) were assessed by western blotting as described in the Experimental section. The blot was reprobed with monoclonal anti-actin antibody as a loading control.</p> 2014-09-23 03:14:47 copper deficiency mosaic mice show evidence haem oxygenase 1 ho Iron Metabolism Reactive oxygen species Menke cell membrane abnormalities antioxidant enzyme scavenges ATP 7A copper transporter sod Systemic Iron Metabolism superoxide dismutase 1
