Profound Morphological Changes in the Erythrocytes and Fibrin Networks of Patients with Hemochromatosis or with Hyperferritinemia, and Their Normalization by Iron Chelators and Other Agents
Figure 5
A box plot of axial ratios of 20 cells from 17 healthy individuals versus 20 cells from 4 HF individuals (n = 80) with and without chelating and other compounds (n = 80 per compound).
Micrographs were taken at 100× magnification with a Nikon Optiphod transmitted light microscope (Nikon Instech Co., Kanagawa, Japan).
