Abstract
German
Forty-four pigs were used in two experiments whose purpose was to produce a deficiency of vitamin E. The anemia and changes in bone marrow morphology occurring in the vitamin E-deficient state are described. The hematologic disorders include low hemoglobin and hematocrit values, leucocytosis and granulocytosis. Nuclear abnormalities were observed in the erythroid precursors in the bone marrow, many of the cells being multinucleated. Giant multinucleated cells of megakaryocyte type were frequently found.
