Liver iron storage in Spanish aging population

A Celada, V Herreros and S De Castro

Liver samples were collected at autopsy from 70 aged (33 males and 37 females) and 22 young (13 males and nine females) individuals. The liver iron stores of young males (327.00 +/- 50.57 micrograms/g) (mean +/- SEM) are higher than young females (143.48 +/- 32.94 micrograms/g; P < 0.02). There is no difference between the values found for old males (301.72 +/- 31.70 microgram/g) and old females (258.61 +/- 24.14 micrograms/g) or between young and old males. The incidence of low iron stores (less than 50 microgram/g) in males and females of the aged group is similar to that found in the group of young males. It is concluded that in the aged Spanish population studied iron stores are not diminished.
