Table 1.
+/+ | −/− | |
---|---|---|
Hemoglobin (g/dL) | 14.7 ± 0.8 | 12.5 ± 1.3 |
Hematocrit (%) | 42.8 ± 2.9 | 34.6 ± 4.2 |
Red cell distribution width (%) | 16.2 ± 2.2 | 19.9 ± 3.2 |
Platelet count (109/L) | 513 ± 262 | 1496 ± 691 |
n = 10 | n = 8 |
The null mice have lower hemoglobin and hematocrits, higher red cell size distribution, and increased number of platelets than the wild-type mice.
