We detected that the activation of Mek1/2-Erk1/2, measured by phosphorylation status using immunoblot analysis, was on average 2-fold lower in the livers of Hfe -/- mice (with marginal significance of p = 0.0571), whereas the levels of pStat3 and pp90Rsk were not significantly changed ( Figure 4 ).
