Quantitative magnetic analysis reveals ferritin-like iron as the most predominant iron-containing species in the murine Hfe-haemochromatosis

► Iron speciation has been analysed in a murine model of Hfe-haemochromatosis. ► Magnetic measurements allow quantitative analysis of iron-containing species. ► Ferritin-like iron is the most predominant species in the liver, spleen and duodenum. ► The proportion of paramagnetic iron is enhanced in the spleen.
