The Effect of B-Pyracin and the Lactobacillus casei Factor Upon Hemoglobin Regeneration Following Hemorrhage.
In severe experimental hemorrhagic anemia in hens, the injection of beta-pyracin and Lactobacillus casei factor, alone and in combination, was found to hasten the regeneration of hemoglobin. When these factors were administered together, however, the rise in hemoglobin was much more rapid and the level reached was higher than in the lots administered the factors alone. The hemoglobin levels in the control lots rose above the "pre-bleeding" values and then began an almost immediate decline to approximately the original level. In the lots receiving beta-pyracin and Lactobacillus casei factor, alone or in combination, the hemoglobin levels also rose above the "pre-bleeding" values but were maintained for some time after injections were discontinued before declining to the original values.
