Peritoneal exudate cells are involved in the regulation of erythroid cell proliferation and hemoglobin synthesis. However, activation of these processes occurs independently of each other and is regulated by various mechanisms. Hemoglobin synthesis is initiated after changes in pH and/or water-electrolyte balance in the abdominal cavity. Peritoneal exudate cells gaining specific activity under conditions of hemorrhage play a role in stimulation of erythroblast proliferation.
