ABSTRACT
Transfusion of adult bovine erythrocytes into seven 2- to 6-day-old calves decreased the erythrocyte glucose concentration from 69 to 19 mg/100 ml. The adult erythrocytes retained their low affinity for glucose in the calf. Thus, hormonal and metabolic factors have only secondary influences on level of glucose in the bovine erythrocyte compartment.
