Erythropoietic stress such as hypoxia has been well described in mammals. These conditions decrease oxygen supply and then enhance production of erythropoietin (EPO) regulates production of red blood cells. Moreover, spleen becomes the main organ of erythropoiesis due to limited marrow space. Here, we describe a new erythropoietic stress, ambient low-temperature. It has been reported that peripheral blood cell counts are affected by ambient low-temperature in several vertebrates. Cold-accli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
