Abstract
Summary
The effects of repeated bleedings at weekly intervals on the serum concentrations of total glycoprotein, seromucoid, and total protein and on the hemoglobin and hematocrit values of blood have been investigated in adult, male guinea pigs and rats. No significant increases occurred in levels of the serum components. Transient decreases were observed in the total serum protein and seromucoid of the rat and the total serum glycoprotein of the guinea pig. Statistically significant decreases occurred in hematocrit and hemoglobin values following the first and ensuing hemorrhages.
