Abstract
Erythrocyte deformability indexes and packed cell viscosities of reticulocyte-rich blood samples of guinea pigs were compared with the values obtained from the same animals at the beginning of the experiments. Both of these parameters were increased in reticulocyte rich samples. Erythrocyte deformability indexes correlated with the reticulocyte ratio of the blood samples, but there was no significant correlation between the packed cell viscosities and reticulocyte ratios.
