OBJECTIVE Subjects with decreased erythrocyte survival have an unusually low GHb percentage. The goal of this study was to determine whether hyperglycemia, as reflected by GHb percentage, is associated with decreased erythrocyte survival. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Erythrocyte survival was quantitated in 23 subjects with type 2 diabetes, and these values were correlated with the subjects' GH...

A sulphydryl plant protease present in the latex of Ficus hispida Linn affects hatematological values in mice. The isolated protease was found to increase clotting time and erythrocyte sedimentation rate while haemoglobin conten, RBC count and WBC count were decreased in a dose dependent manner. Ointment containing 1.0% (w/w) hispidain in washable ointment base showed good wound healing propert...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between erythrocyte parameters of piglets and their mortality during parturition. Erythrocyte count, haematocrit volume, blood haemoglobin concentration, mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) and mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were determined in 80 live-born and 109 stillborn piglets. In both live-born and stillborn...

The dimorphic blood picture in sideroblastic anemia suggests the coexistence of at least two types of erythrocyte, the populations with the smaller RBCs being responsible for the crucial abnormality, namely the impairment of iron incorporation into protoporphyrin. In a patient with sideroblastic anemia who subsequently developed acute myelocytic leukemia, we found a light and a heavy cell popul...

ANOSA, VICTOR 0. Postsplenectomy blood values, marrow cytology, erythrocyte life-span, and sequestration in mice. Am. J. Physiol. 231(4): 1254-1257. 1976. -Studies in mice indicated that splenectomy influenced neither the erythrocyte and leukocyte total and differential values nor the erythrocyte survival. The right femoral marrow erythrocyte and nucleated cell counts were also not altered by s...

Background: Exposure to environmental toxins such as organophosphates poses a great threat to the health of the public. In this work, we investigated the effects of continuous exposure to dichlorvos (DDVP) on kidney function and hematological parameters, and the possible antidote activity of Nigella sativa oil (NSO). Methods: This research was conducted in 2016, at The Animal Holding and Resea...

An evaluation of C reactive protein as an indicator of the progress of acute pancreatitis has been made, and the data have been compared with the information given by the white cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and temperature and by two antiproteases--alpha 1 protease inhibitor and alpha 1 antichymotrypsin. The main value of C reactive protein is to provide a guide to the severity of...

Nath & Prasannan (1959) have shown that hydrolysed 'glucose cycloacetoacetate' can restore the erythrocyte count and haemoglobin level with the same efficacy as vitamin B12 in experimental anaemia induced by phenylhydrazine. The occurrence of anaemia of some type or other due to the liver damage is well known (Shumacker & Wintrobe 1938; Koszewski, 1952). During the development of dietary liver ...
