Blood Volumes

Plasma volumes and haematocrits were determined in six hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) and blood volumes were estimated. Expressed on a total body weight basis, plasma volume was found to range from 39 to 109 mL∙kg−1 and blood volume from 93 to 222 mL∙kg−1. Logarithms of the values for plasma and blood volume varied directly with the total body weight of the seals.

A stranding of sperm whales (Physeter catodon) on the central Oregon coast enabled measurement of the total plasma volume of one female whale. The total blood volume was calculated to be about 20% of the total body weight based on the measured total plasma volume and hematocrit and the estimate of total body weight.

Blood Volumes

Modifications are described which make T-1824 suitable for plasma volume determinations on small bats. An average plasma volume of 6.5 ml/100 gm body weight has been determined for the active little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus; average blood volume, based on plasma volume and hematocrit, is 13.0 ml/100 gm body weight. Seasonal changes have been observed which apparently result primarily from changes in lean body weight and from pregnancy. Young bats have a proportionately greater blood volume. No significant differences have been found between sexes, nor between determinations made during day and night hours. Plasma and blood levels are changing least at the beginning and end of the hibernating period. Comparisons of previous studies suggest that, while a plasma decrease and unchanged cell volume seem generally characteristic of mammals which have entered hibernation, a concurrent drop in heart blood hematocrit of the hibernating bat suggests a redistribution of erythrocytes as well.

Blood Volumes

Blood volumes of 51 horses of three different breeds were determined by means of radioisotopes Cr51 and Fe59. The mean values obtained in 34 determinations for 31 Thoroughbred English race horses are as follows: total blood volume, 10.31; plasma volume, 6.33; and red cell volume 3.98 liters/100 kg body weight for a hematocrit of 42.7%. The results for 6 saddle horses are: 7.75, 5.25, and 2.53, respectively, for a hematocrit of 37.3%. The results in 14 draft horses are: 6.14, 4.35, and 1.82 for a hematocrit of 33.5%. The differences observed in the blood volume values of the three breeds are statistically significant. In our opinion, these differences are due to their physiological qualities, according to the breed.

Induced Changes

Anesthetized cats were supported on electronic scales placed under the head, thorax, abdomen and hindquarters, and the changes in the weights supported by these scales were recorded while blood was withdrawn and while blood and saline were infused. The recorded changes in weight indicated that the abdomen and the thorax both contributed significantly to the volume of withdrawn blood and that infused fluids were taken up by both regions. The blood volume of neither region was conserved at the expense of the other. The average weight change of the hindquarters was 5–10% of the over-all response, but in many cases the weight of the hindquarters was stable during an experiment. The average error in measurement of changes in total body weight was 6%. Interactions between the scales were evaluated by injecting mercury into pouches placed at specific anatomic locations. Interactions did occur, but were not so great as to invalidate the method. Submitted on September 16, 1960

An automated servo-control system to maintain total body weight constant was used to investigate the role of fluid volume expansion in the development of salt-dependent hypertension in dogs continuously infused with subpressor doses of angiotensin II. Dogs maintained on a fixed salt and water intake were studied in metabolic scale cages, which enabled continuous 24 h/day monitoring of changes in body weight as an index of changes in total body water. Beat-by-beat hemodynamics were determined 24 h/day. Daily fluid and electrolyte balances and hormonal profile were determined. Blood volume was periodically measured by injection of 51Cr red blood cells. After a 3-day control period, salt intake was increased from 8 to 120 meq/day. In contrast to the rise of arterial pressure that was observed in our previous nonservo-controlled volume studies, average 24-h mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance remained unchanged during a 4-day high-salt period. Total body weight was maintained within 7 +/- 17 g of the original weight. Blood volume was unchanged by day 2 as indicated by direct measurement (51Cr red blood cells) or by analysis of plasma protein concentration. There was a retention of 82 +/- 5 meq (P less than 0.05) of sodium on day 1 of high-salt period. Plasma sodium concentration increased approximately 7 meq/l (P less than 0.05) above control levels. Plasma renin activity and aldosterone decreased to undetectable values, whereas vasopressin and atrial natriuretic peptide increased significantly. These results confirm that elevations of blood volume and cardiac output normally observed when salt intake was increased in dogs infused with angiotensin II are secondary to water retention and that this salt-dependent model of hypertension is dependent on fluid volume expansion.

Abstract Objectives Iodinated contrast media (ICM) could be more appropriately dosed on patient lean body weight (LBW) than on total body weight (TBW). Methods After Ethics Committee approval, trial registration NCT03384979, patients aged ≥ 18 years scheduled for multiphasic abdominal CT were randomised for ICM dose to LBW group (0.63 gI/kg of LBW) or TBW group (0.44 gI/kg of TBW). Abdominal 64-row CT was performed using 120 kVp, 100–200 mAs, rotation time 0.5 s, pitch 1, Iopamidol (370 mgI/mL), and flow rate 3 mL/s. Levene, Mann–Whitney U, and χ2 tests were used. The primary endpoint was liver contrast enhancement (LCE). Results Of 335 enrolled patients, 17 were screening failures; 44 dropped out after randomisation; 274 patients were analysed (133 LBW group, 141 TBW group). The median age of LBW group (66 years) was slightly lower than that of TBW group (70 years). Although the median ICM-injected volume was comparable between groups, its variability was larger in the former (interquartile range 27 mL versus 21 mL, p = 0.01). The same was for unenhanced liver density (IQR 10 versus 7 HU) (p = 0.02). Median LCE was 40 (35–46) HU in the LBW group and 40 (35–44) HU in the TBW group, without significant difference for median (p = 0.41) and variability (p = 0.23). Suboptimal LCE (< 40 HU) was found in 64/133 (48%) patients in the LBW group and 69/141 (49%) in the TBW group, but no examination needed repeating. Conclusions The calculation of the ICM volume to be administered for abdominal CT based on the LBW does not imply a more consistent LCE.

Rate Of Accumulation

Pregnant rats were subjected to either a folic-acid-deficient regimen that produces multiple congenital skeletal malformations, or a control folic-acid-supplemented regimen. Fetal limbs were extirpated on days 16 and 18 of gestation, pooled from each litter, homogenized, and aliquots set aside for hydroxyproline, protein and DNA determinations. We found that (1) the amount of protein recovered per treated limb was approximately half that of controls on both days, (2) the amount of protein recovered per treated or controlday-18 limb was twice that of a day-16 limb, (3) treated limbs constituted the same percentage of total body weight as in controls on day 16, but a smaller percentage than in controls on day 18, and (4) the concentration of hydroxyproline (μg/mg protein) was significantly less for treated limbs than for controls on day 18 of gestation. We noted also that: (1) lowest hydroxyproline concentrations were found in limbs from treated fetuses with gross limb malformations, (2) intermediate concentrations were found in limbs of treated fetuses not exhibiting gross limb malformations, and (3) highest concentrations were found in control limbs. We suggest that the treatment resulted in (1) a decreased rate of accumulation of protein in limbs prior to day 16, but not from day 16 to day 18, (2) a decreased rate of accumulation of some non-protein component(s) in treated limbs from day 16 to day 18, and (3) an altered collagen metabolism.

Total body weight of 9749 reindeer calves and 4798 adult reindeer were measured from 1984 to 1999 on the Seward Peninsula, western Alaska, USA. Growth rates of male and female calves, and annual growth patterns of adults were determined. Male calves grew faster than female calves. Reproductive females were lighter than non-reproductive females during summer but there was no effect of reproduction on average body weights the following winter. Adult males age 3-5 were heavier during summer than winter. Castrated males weighed the same as uncastrated males in summer, but were significantly heavier in winter, and did not display the large annual fluctuations in weight typical of reproductive males and females. Growth rates were higher and body weights greater in this herd than many other cir-cumpolar reindeer populations. We suggest these kinds of physiological indices should be used to monitor the possible effects of spatial and temporal variation in population density and to evaluate changes in herding practices.
