Association between capsule diameter, adequacy of encapsulation, and survival of microencapsulated rat islet allografts.

abstract：:Rat liver transplantation was utilized to study the effect of hepatic iron on the control of iron absorption. Six iron-loaded and six normal livers were transplanted into normal or iron-loaded animals. Iron absorption was measured pretransplant and 10 days posttransplant by total-body counting (59Fe). The animals were...
