Title
Blood cell production and hemostatic mechanism in Thai vegetarians.
The activity of hemostatic mechanism and blood cell production of 50 Thai vegetarians and 30 nonvegetarians were compared. The hemostatic mechanism of both vegetarians and nonvegetarians showed no significant difference, whereas, a significant decrease in hemoglobin, hematocrit and red blood cell count with significant increase in hypersegmented neutrophils were found in vegetarians who had taken vegetarian diets for over 4 years.
