Effect of magnetite on the hematocrit value in exsanguinated rats.
Magnetite prepared by an enzyme-dependent reaction gradually released iron ion into the acidic-to-neutral buffer solution. A preparatory experiment was performed to examine the efficiency of magnetite as an iron supplement. Feeding exsanguinated rats with being magnetite resulted in the hematocrit value being recovered without any serious adverse effect on the digestive organs.
