Table 2: Plasma level of plasma glucose, iron, transferrin and transferrin saturation (TS%)in normal and experimental groups of rats. Values aregiven as mean ± SD for groups of eight animals each. *Significantly different from normal group at p<0.01. a: significant from normal control; b:significant from ferrous sulfate (30 mg/kg b.w.)supplement group; c: significant from cranberry extract (75 mg/kg b.w.); d: significant fromcranberry extract (150 mg/kg b.w.).
