Abstract
The amount of iron assimilated by the marrow and the time required for its incorporation
into hemoglobin in vivo has been studied in the rabbit. Approximately 80 per cent
of transferrin-bound radioiron was localized within the skeleton, and approximately
80 per cent of this iron was incorporated into hemoglobin within 1 hour. Additional
studies of hemoglobin versus nonhemoglobin iron in rats, dogs, and in man indicated
a similarly rapid and complete process of heme synthesis. It is concluded that there
is no preheme pool of appreciable size involved in normal erythropoiesis in these
species.
