Effect of calcitonin on postexperimental anemia recovery. Mice were treated with calcitonin (Cal-Bled and Cal-PHZ) or PBS (Bled and PHZ) during 5 consecutive days. On the 3rd day of treatment, mice were phlebotomized (Bled and Cal-Bled; ) or received phenylhydrazine injections (PHZ and Cal-PHZ; ) and blood hemoglobin concentration (a and b) and reticulocytosis (c and d) were monitored daily. Data are mean ± SEM and values are compared using a nonparametric Student’s -test.
