... assigned to one of four treatments: fasted control ( N =8), fasted anemia ( N =6), fed control ( N =9) or fed anemia ( N =8). Following the measurements of MAP and f H , the ‘fasted’ animals remained undisturbed at 30°C, whereas ‘fed’ animals consumed rodent meals equivalent to 25±0% body mass...

... laevis , was used to investigate the cause of hypothermia-induced anemia. We developed a new model of hypothermia at 5°C and monitored blood cell count and erythropoiesis on several days. Erythrocyte count declined by 30% on the first day following cold exposure (5°C) and mRNA expression of hemeoxygenase...

... © 2011. 2011 EPO phenylhydrazine anemia erythropoiesis Xenopus laevis colony assay Oxygen is required for sustaining the life of animals through the production of energy ( Bunn and Poyton, 1996 ). In vertebrates, erythrocytes carry oxygen to tissues; therefore, the maintenance...

...Emily C. Wagner; Christine A. Stables; Tony D. Williams SUMMARY Reductions in hematological parameters among laying birds are well reported, but the cause of this anemia is not known. We tested specific predictions generated from several, non-mutually exclusive hypotheses for mechanisms underlying...

... acclimation regime to assess the impact of erythrocyte age on skeletal muscle remodeling. Anemia (i.e. phenylhydrazine treatment) did not alter the specific activities (U g -1 tissue) of mitochondrial enzymes in white or red muscle. Anemic pretreatment did not alter the normal pattern of cold-induced...
