Effects of testosterone on splenic and bone marrow erythropoiesis of fasted mice.
Fasting in normal or erythropoietin treated mice results in parallel decrease of erythropoietic activity in spleen and bone marrow. In testosterone-treated animals, starvation only decreases the splenic fraction while the bone marrow erythropoiesis shows a marked increase above normal values.
