title: Hyperviscosity syndrome in ovariectomized rats.
abstract: Ovariectomy reduces blood levels of sex hormones and considerably increases blood viscosity due to an increase in hematocrit and plasma fibrinogen content, disorders in viscoelastic characteristics of erythrocytes, and increase of their aggregation activity. Changes in the macrorheology are mainly responsible for the development of the hyperviscosity syndrome.
