EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Iron-deficiency anaemia develops after total gastrectomy in rats and responds well to iron given orally or by intramuscular injection. From these studies with 59Fe-tagged in- organic iron it is concluded that the anaemia is due to a quantitative defect in iron absorption while iron excretion is continuing at a normal or possibly at an increased rate.
