Abstract
The response to ESF has been studied in normal starved, polycythemic, and starved-polycythemic rats. Starvation markedly reduces this response in normal and polycythemic rats. Disappearance rate of ESF is normal and no inhibitor is detectable in the plasma of starved rats. Experimental data suggest that starvation decreases the ESF-sensitive stem cell pool.
