title: Megakaryocytopoiesis in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).
abstract: Bone marrow megakaryocytes and their progenitors were studied in SHR in order to obtain more information about megakaryocytopoiesis in hypertension since it is known that various anomalies of platelet function occur in hypertension. Megakaryocytopoiesis under steady state conditions and following stimulated erythropoiesis and thrombocytopenia was not found to be significantly different in SHR from that in normotensive Wistar controls.
