Th blood volume of normal rabbits and rabbits anemic with molybdenum
toxicity was determined using the dye and P32 methods. The blood volume per
unit of body weight was found to be within the normal range indicating that
rabbits were able to maintain normal blood volume even though anemic as a
result of molybdenum toxicity.
