These animals were the control, noninbred group (0% inbred). By systematic full-sib mating, two experimental groups (50 and 91% of inbred) were raised. Half of each group (both males and females) was exposed to physical stress (3 days of starvation and 3 hr of swimming). The other half of each group was ether anesthetized to collect blood. The iron content of plasma and whole blood, as well as the total iron binding capacity, was determined by the Atom-Spec method. A significant decrease in the iron content of plasma and whole blood as well as the TIBC was observed by an increase in the inbreeding coefficient. Stress significantly influenced the iron content of plasma and whole blood as well as the TIBC, whereas the sex of the rats affected the whole-blood iron concentration and TIBC. Moreover, some double interactions had an impact on the iron content and TIBC. The interactions were as follows: plasma—inbreeding level and stress; whole blood—sex and stress; and TIBC—inbreeding level and sex.
