Erythropoietic action of dexamethasone on the anemia associated with an experimental chronic renal failure.

Partially nephrectomized anemic uremic rats were injected with dexamethasone phosphate (10, 50 and 500 micrograms/kg/day), i.p., and erythropoietin (5 U/day), s.

Erythropoietic effects of triiodothyronine on the anemia of renal failure in rats: comparative studies with testosterone and erythropoietin.

A pronounced and significant stimulatory effect on erythropoiesis was observed in anemic uremic rats receiving either T3 (50 micrograms/kg/day) or Ep (7.5 and 15 U[units]/day) for ten days. A lack of erythropoietic response was seen after the administration of testosterone (5 mg/kg/day) for the same period of time.
