Abstract

Erythropoiesis was observed to develop earlier in month-old rats which had developed during periodic exposure to cold than in control animals. This was reflected in a shorter period of physiological anemia. The circulating blood volume of the experimental animals was greater at all times of the investigation. As a result of the improvement to the blood supply of the organs and tissues, growth and development of the experimental rats were accelerated and the resting energy expenditure was more economic than in control rats of the same age.
