Humoral regulation of erythropoiesis in cats: preliminary report.
Cats were subjected to acute or subacute phlebotomy regimens in a study to investigate the humoral regulation of erythropoiesis as mediated by erythropoietin. The erythropoietic effects of the acute phlebotomy regimen were similar to those effects of the subacute regimen. serum erythropoietin in cats was increased for at least 10 days after initiating the phlebotomies.
