Abstract
The rate of red cell and hemoglobin formation was studied in 6 normal and 6 totally sympathectomized dogs during prolonged and relatively constant hemorrhagic anemia. Bled sympathectomized dogs produce red blood cells and h -noglobin at approx. the same rates as do normal animals. The sy pathetic nervous system is not essential for the regeneration o red blood cells and hemoglobin in the bled dog.
