An Electron Microscopic Study of Blood and Bone Marrow in Vitamin E-Deficient Pigs

Abstract
The ultrastructure of blood and bone marrow cells in vitamin E-deficient pigs was studied and correlated with the light microscopic appearance. Earlier light microscopic observations indicating an inadequate erythroid production were confirmed and supplemented. Furthermore, evidence of increased destruction of erythroid cells and abnormalities in formation of myeloid cells were observed.
