The Mechanism of Blood Function and Production After Injury.
Abstract
The studies examine the cause of the aregenerative anemia caused by malnutrition. Rats on a 2% protein depletion diet rapidly became anemic and had low erythropoietin values. Refeeding by oral and total parenteral nutrition restored erythropoietin values to normal. These studies confirm the role of erythropoietin in the anemia of malnutrition. They also establish that intravenous, as well as oral provision of nutrients return erythropoietin values to normal. (Author)
