(12) Since this substance can be completely neutralized by an antiserum to erythropoietin and shows a dose--response relationship in the plethoric mouse assay, it is suggested that the culture medium contains erythropoietin, a hormone important in the regulation of erythropoiesis.
(13) Elevation of the serum Epo level with anemia suggests that a marrow abnormality is the cause of the anemia, while a "high" Epo level in a non-anemic or plethoric patient suggests the presence of hypoxia or autonomous Epo production.

(17) Further experiments with plethoric animals indicated that different levels of erythropoietin did not account for the effects of platelet hypertransfusion.
(18) It is, however, dependent on the erythropoietic state of the animal, as seen in plethoric mice and mice after bleeding.
(19) Biological activity was determined in the plethoric mouse bioassay in which 59Fe incorporation was converted to units of Ep from standard reference curves.
(20) Erythropoiesis, as measured by the uptake of 59Fe into plethoric mice, is stimulated by adenosine, AMP, cyclic AMP, and dibutyryl cyclic AMP, but not by cytidine, its nucleotides or cyclic GMP.

(n.) Of a red color; red, or reddish; as, a ruddy sky; a ruddy flame.

(8) The Spaniard turned up in the box at just the right time to turn in a cross from Jones after Ruddy had made another good save, this time from Rooney, without succeeding in pushing the ball dead.
(9) Pellegrini brought on Dzeko for Jovetic, but while his side continued to dominate possession they rarely forced Ruddy into action, and in the final few minutes Norwich should have won the game.

(11) Two years later, it remains in ruddy health as Malawian voters head to the polls today for an election that no one can predict.

(13) Hatem Ben Arfa picked out Moussa Sissoko with a pass inside City full-back Martin Olsson, and the midfielder pulled the ball back perfectly for Rémy, but the striker's shot was easily saved by Ruddy.
