Growth. 1976 Jun;40(2):147-51.
During growth in 55 pigs (from birth through week 12) and 42 beagles studied (from birth through year 1), there was an equally close association between red cell mass (RCM) and body weight, lean body mass (LBM) and body cell mass (BCM); the coefficients of correlation were between 0.94-0.99. The association of RCM with body weight was the result of BCM, extracellular tissue (ECT), and fat, each increasing at a constant rate relative to body weight. The primary relationship appears to be between RCM, the oxygen-delivery system, and BCM, the principla oxygen-using system; and the close association of RCM with body weight and LBM the results of the growth patterns of their components.
在对55头猪（从出生到第12周）和42只比格犬（从出生到1岁）的生长过程研究中，红细胞量（RCM）与体重、瘦体重（LBM）和体细胞量（BCM）之间存在同样紧密的关联；相关系数在0.94 - 0.99之间。RCM与体重的关联是BCM、细胞外组织（ECT）和脂肪的结果，它们各自相对于体重以恒定速率增加。主要关系似乎存在于作为氧气输送系统的RCM和作为主要氧气利用系统的BCM之间；而RCM与体重和LBM的紧密关联是其组成部分生长模式的结果。
