Abstract

This paper is a study of the bone marrow and peripheral blood of guinea pigs, and the effects of cobalt and radio-active phosphorus (P³²) on the hemopoietic system of these animals. The metabolism of the trace element, cobalt, is not definitely established. the recent development, that cobalt is in the structure of vitamin B₁₂, will open new avenues of research. Today, radioactivity is also much on our minds. Constant study with radio-active isotopes is going on in many branches of science. The apparently opposite effects of cobalt and P³² on the bone marrow prompted the beginning of this study.
