摘要：

The present paper describes the results of a comparative histological and quantitative analysis of iron distribution in tissues of beta(2)m - / - and beta(2)m + / - mice of different ages. Progressive hepatic iron overload, indistinguishable from that observed in human hemochromatosis, was found only in mice homozygous for the mutated beta(2)m gene. Total iron measurements done by flame atomic absorption showed statistically significant differences between liver samples from 5 beta(2)m + / - heterozygotes (468 +/- 174 mu g/g of dry weight) and 9 mice homozygous for the mutated beta(2)m gene with average total hepatic iron levels of 1583 +/- 424 mu g/g of dry weight.
