Responses of plasma Epo and kidney and liver Epo mRNA to hemorrhage in perinatal pigs

Despite the fact that pig fetuses in late gestation have extensive erythropoiesis, low blood pO 2 and low hemoglobin concentrations, piglets are born without detectable concentrations of plasma erythropoietin (Epo). In the present study, we have examined the hypothesis that long-term hypoxic stimuli...
