OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of sodium iron chlorophyllin (SIC) on hematopoiesis and its therapeutic efficacy in anemic mice. METHODS: The effects of SIC on CFU-E and CFU-GM yields of normal and anemic animal models were studied. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: (1) SIC significantly enhanced the CFU-E and CFU-GM yields of mouse bone marrow. (2) SIC also increased the percentage of reticulocyte in mouse. (3) In hemolytic anemia mice induced by i.p. N-acetphenylhydrazine, SIC markedly prevented the decrease of RBC and Hb. (4) In hemorrhagic anemia rats induced by bleedletting, SIC accelerated the normalization of RBC, Hb and elevated the serum iron level and transferrin saturation.
