Abstract
FAVOURABLE results from treatment of hypochromic anæmias with pyridoxine demonstrated clinically1–4 and in experimental animals5–8 suggest that pyridoxine deficiency might influence hæmoglobin survival times in rats. Comparison of the amounts of intravenously injected chromium-51 associated with hæmoglobin over several weeks indicates that the apparent survival times of the rat hæmoglobin may vary inversely with the extent of labelling with chromium-51.
