Erythropoietin levels in heterozygous beta-thalassemia. 1984

M Vedovato, and G Salvatorelli, and C Vullo, and M Taddei Masieri, and G C Balboni

In the present work the capacity of serum of beta-thalassemic heterozygous and normal subjects to stimulate 59Fe uptake into heme in guinea pig bone marrow cultures is analyzed. The results show that labelled iron uptake is higher in cultures with thalassemic serum than in cultures with normal serum. No correlation between labelled iron uptake and Hb level or sex has been found in either group.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
