[Study of red blood cells of the house sparrow Passes domesticus in hypobaric hypoxia].
Changes of red blood in the house sparrow Passes domesticus L. in hypobaric hypoxia have been established to consist in erythrocytosis and macrocytosis. This provides an increase of blood hemoglobin level and the total respiratory surface area in blood. This reaction is based on erythropoiesis activation in bone marrow and on a decrease of the spleen storing function and inhibition of erythropoiesis in spleen. Unlike mammals, these processes are not accompanied by changes of cell hemoglobin amount and of the hemoglobin isoform ratio.
