RETICULOCYTE RIPENING IN EXPERIMENTAL 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...

Reticulocyte changes after experimental anemia and erythropoietin treatment of horses.

Availability of recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) has facilitated use to enhance red blood cell production, and therefore aerobic performance, in human and equine athletes. Recombinant human EPO promotes growth and differentiation of equine erythroid precursor cells, but in some horses repeat administration induces immune interference with endogenous EPO resulting in fatal anemia. Although...

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...
