title: Relationship between erythropoietic rate and iron donating capacity of the Fe/transferrin complex in mouse.
abstract: The transfer of iron from the Fe/transferrin complex to the erythroid cells was studied in in vitro system in mice in which a drastic and opposite change in their erythropoietic activity was produced by bleeding or actinomycin D administration. A reduction of iron donation in the serum of bled animals was found, whereas the aplastic condition induce in the donors of the serum by actinomycin D did not produce any change in the transfer process. It was also found that in spite of the normalization of the saturation in the serum of bled animals, the diminished donation remained unchanged. The possibility that conditions other than quantitative could produce this behavior is discussed.
