Hematocrit and serum proteins during arm exercise

Abstract
Twelve male subjects were submitted to an intense arm exercise exhaustion. Analysis of venous blood, taken at the elbow, revealed that:—during the exercise, there was a higher increase in the hematocrit than in serum protein concetration,—at the end of the exercise, the correlation between the increase of the hematocrit and of serum proteins was not significant, but became significant after 3 min. of recovery. The increase of both the hematocrit and the serum proteins is not due exclusively to plasma concentration. The hypothesis is advanced for protein transfer to the circulation.
