Abstract: | The rate of appearance of C14 in the heme and globin of peripheral bloodfollowing intravenous administration of glycine-2-C14 has been measured innormals and in patients with androgen-induced erythrocytosis, polycythemiavera (iron deficiency) and virilizing Cushings disease with polycythemia. Inall these cases of accelerated erythropoiesis a common alteration of the globinspecific activity curve was observed. Heme specific activity curves were notaffected.The changes in the globin specific activity curves are best explained byconsideration of the marrow erythroid cellularity during erythrocytosis.
