Crab-eating monkeys, Macaca fasicularis, fed a vitamin E-depleted diet for over 15 months, showed signs of anemia manifested by a lowering in hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration and red blood cell number, and by an increased susceptibility of erythrocytes to hydrogen peroxide lysis. Bone marrow pictures indicated the presence of multinucleated erythroid precursor cells and an accumulation of orthochromatophilic normoblasts. Supplementation with vitamin E resulted in reticulocytosis and a return of the normal bone marrow picture.
食蟹猴（Macaca fasicularis）食用维生素E缺乏饮食超过15个月后，出现贫血迹象，表现为血细胞比容、血红蛋白浓度和红细胞数量降低，以及红细胞对过氧化氢裂解的敏感性增加。骨髓图片显示存在多核红细胞前体细胞和正染性晚幼红细胞积聚。补充维生素E导致网织红细胞增多和骨髓图片恢复正常。
