Mechanism of change in blood volume and serum protein in pregnancy

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

A study was made of the diethylstibestrol injections (15 mg per course) on the plasma volume and the serum protein fractions in rabbits. The results were compared with the changes of these 2 indices in pregnant rabbits. Estrogen caused changes analogous to those seen in pregnancy, i.e., an increase of the plasma volume and of the total albumin content.
