Graded burn size and anemic response

Exp. groups (PBD #7)	Hgb (g/dl)	Hct (%)	RBCs (106 cells/µl)	Monocytes (%)	Granulocytes (%)
20% TBSA	12.8 ± 0.23 a , b	40.0 ± 0.59 a , c	8.9 ± 0.19 a , b	10.6 ± 0.67 a	47.3 ± 1.1 a , c
10% TBSA	13.9 ± 0.18 d	43.7 ± 0.72 e	9.6 ± 0.15 e	10.3 ± 0.45 a	31.1 ± 3.2 d
Sham	14.7 ± 0.07	45.7 ± 0.24	10.2 ± 0.07	5.8 ± 0.25	22.1 ± 2.0

Heparinized blood was obtained via cardiac puncture from sham and burn (10% and 20% TBSA) mice harvested on PBD #7. Divergent and reciprocal responses in erythroid and myeloid cells increased with increasing burn size.

^a P < 0.0001.

^b P < 0.001.

^c P < 0.0001 vs. 10% TBSA burn.

^d P < 0.01.

^e P < 0.05 vs. sham.
