Hepatocyte-specific Alk3 deficiency resulted in elevated liver ferroportin expression 14 days after BA injection. a Relative hepatic ferroportin mRNA levels (*P = 0.01: Alk3fl/fl; Alb-Cre injected with saline [n = 4] vs Alk3fl/fl; Alb-Cre injected with BA [n = 6]; *P = 0.01: Alk3fl/fl injected with BA [n = 5] vs Alk3fl/fl; Alb-Cre injected with BA [n = 6]).
