Analysis of nonlinear regression models: comparison of an overall model and individual models of Z-transformed values vs. ln- nonheme liver iron 3 2.5 Over all 2 DCF-PMNs 1.5 DCF-Lymph 1 Rh123-PMNs Z score 0.5 Rh123-Lymph 0 mtDNA damage -0.5 1/RCR -1 normal -1.5 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 LN nonheme Fe (µmol/g wet liver) . Each of the six dependent variables (that were analyzed by nonlinear regression in former figures) were transformed to Z scores and modeled as a quadratic function of the ln-liver nonheme iron as the independent variable. The equation for the RCR ratio's Z score was obtained from inverted RCR values (1/RCR) so that normal rats had the lower instead of the higher values. For presentation purposes each model line was obtained from 9 values of liver iron. All statistics were performed as in materials and methods.
