ANEMIA AND HYPOPROTEINEMIA

Anemia and Hypoproteinemia

Dogs with sustained anemia and hypoproteinemia due to bleeding and a continuing low protein or protein-free diet with abundant iron are used to test the value of food proteins as contrasted with mixtures of pure amino acids. The stimulus of double depletion (anemia and hypoproteinemia) drives the body to use every source of protein and all protein-building materials with the utmost conservation...

Anemia plus Hypoproteinemia in Dogs

Dogs with sustained anemia plus hypoproteinemia due to bleeding and a continuing low protein or protein-free diet containing abundant iron have been used in the present work to test food proteins and supplements as to their See PDF for Structure capacity to produce new hemoglobin and plasma proteins. The reserve stores of blood protein-producing materials are thus largely depleted in such anima...

Anemia, Hypoproteinemia, and Cataracts in Swine Fed Casein Hydrolysate or Zein. Comparison with Pyridoxine-deficiency Anemia.

Dietary Effects on Anemia plus Hypoproteinemia in Dogs

Casein (purified or commercial) in this type of experiment falls in the top bracket as a protein consistently favorable for maximal new hemoglobin and plasma protein production in doubly depleted dogs (anemic and hypo-proteinemic). Lactalbumin is less favorable for total blood protein production and the ratio of plasma protein to hemoglobin is high-that is lactalbumin favors plasma protein prod...

The Problem of Hypoproteinemia *

The serum protein concentration has frequently been observed to be reduced in certain types of Bright's disease and in various types of malnutrition. Formerly the fundamental cause for this was attributed to either a loss of protein in the urine or a lack of protein in the diet. In 1933, in introducng studies on the effect of restriction of protein intake on the serum protein concentration of t...
