Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how increased blood viscosity from excessive erythrocytes affects oxygen supply to the skin in transgenic mice with high erythrocytosis.
- Researchers found that even though these mice had a fourfold increase in blood viscosity, their blood oxygen content nearly doubled without changing microvessel diameter.
- Ultimately, the findings suggest that higher erythrocyte levels do not improve oxygen delivery in capillaries, despite enhancing oxygen levels in larger blood vessels.
