Humoral Factors Influencing Erythropoiesis
نویسنده
چکیده
STRONG EVIDENCE has accumulated to indicate that erythropoiesis in mammals is under the control of a circulating principle, the erythropoiesisstimulating factor ( ESF ) or erythropoietin.1’2 A similar regulatory system may be operative in amphibians and birds.3’4 The ESF appears in large quantities in the plasma of animals subjected to bleeding or low oxygen pressures’ and its production is inhibited in starved and plethoric animals.5 Among the mammals a lack of species specificity for the ESF is evident. Thus ESF of human origin stimulates red blood cell ( RBC ) production in mice, rats and humans.1’6 On the other hand, class specificity for this principle appears to exist since mammalian ESF fails to stimulate erythropoiesis in the frog and bird, while plasma from bled frogs and birds is ineffective in mice.3’4 In an attempt to derive additional information on the phylogeny of the ESF, the present studies were performed in the teleost fish commonly termed the blue gourami ( Trichogaster trichopterus).

Evaluation of plasma erythropoietic-stimulating factors in anemic uremic patients.
HE ASSOCIATION of a moderately severe normochromic, normocytic anemia with chronic renal disease is well recognized. Diminished erythropoiesis,’3 hemolysis1’3’4 and hemorrhage5’#{176} have all been shown to contribute to the development of anemia in azotemic patients. However, diminished red cell production appears to be the predominant mechanism in renal anemia. The dynamics of this failure of...

متن کاملp-ERK1/2 is a predictive factor of response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in low/int-1 myelodysplastic syndromes.
Serum erythropoietin level less than 100U/L and a transfusion requirement of less than 2 units per month are the best predictive factors for response to treatment by erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in low/int-1 myelodysplastic syndromes. To investigate the factors influencing the response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, we enrolled 127 low/int-1 myelodysplastic syndrome patients at diag...
