Measurements of succinate dehydrogenase and mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activities, Fe, cytochrome c and myoglobin, were made on various hind-leg muscles, fast-twitch red and white muscle and heart and liver of male Wistar rats fed an Fe-deficient diet on weaning. Rats fed the same diet and given 20 mg Fe i.p. as Fe-dextran (Imferon) served as controls. For Fe-repletion studies anemic rats (Hb < 7 g/dl) were given a single injection of 10 mg Fe (Imferon) and the time course of change in the above parameters was followed up to 22 days after injection. The Fe concentration of most Fe-deficient muscles dropped to .apprx. 35% of control, the heart to 60% and liver to 13%. On repletion, the Fe concentration of all tissues increase significantly by 4 days. While the levels of cytochrome c and myoglobin approximated the Fe levels in muscle, they did not change significantly in the heart. Succinate dehydrogenase activity dropped profoundly in muscle, to 10-30% of control; on repletion, the activity increased significantly. Mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity showed only small changes in Fe-deficient tissues.
