BLOOD REGENERATION IN SEVERE ANEMIA

Abstract
Small amounts of Fe salts may or may not cause an increase in blood hemoglobin output above control periods. This may depend on the existence in the experimental animal of an actual Fe shortage or deficiency, or salt unbalance. Large or small doses of Fe salts may cause an increased production of blood hemoglobin but a continuing diet period of smilar Fe feeding plus a diet of liver or kidney will show the sum of the 2 expected reactions[long dash]the reaction of the Fe feeding plus the reaction expected from the liver or kidney diet. This lends little support to the argument that much of the favorable influence of organ feeding upon hemoglobin is due to Fe contained in the liver or kidney.
