Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine changes in body iron storage in adult dogs following phlebotomy. We performed repeated phlebotomies by removing 1% body weight (approximately 10% of the total blood volume) weekly for a total of 12 times using adult beagle dogs without an iron-restricted diet. After treatment, stored iron was decreased, as demonstrated by gradual reductions in serum ferritin levels and hepatic iron contents. Anemia and abnormalities in blood chemistry analysis were not observed; therefore, this method was considered safe and useful for control of stored iron levels in adult dogs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 August 2017.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Veterinary Medical Science
#1,596
of 3,546 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#238,651
of 328,185 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Veterinary Medical Science
#38
of 83 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,546 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,185 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 83 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
