Abstract

The mean corpuscular volume and concentration of blood erythrocytes in intact male rats are inversely related in the entire fluctuations range. In healthy men and women the correlation between these parameters is described by a parabola with alternating zones of positive and negative relationships. These covariation are unstable; in disease they change and sometimes are transformed into monotonous reciprocal correlations.
