Iron content in the red pulp of the spleen calculated with Perl’s staining and MicroImage software. Results calculated as a ratio of area and intensity of iron-positive stains to the area of cell nuclei. Data presented as mean (±SEM) result for each, examined animal (a) and as mean (±SEM) value for both control and experimental groups (b). Significant difference of *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, and ***P ≤ 0.001
