Abstract excerpt
There is a genetic difference in rat hemoglobin (Hb) beta-chain structure, with alternate alleles, A and B, at a single locus. This study was designed to find out whether marrow sensitivity due to gamma exposure and experimentally induced anemia in age-matched adult rats is entirely strain specif...
