Rabbits were injected with turpentine to produce granulocytic marrow hyperplasia, or were bled to produce erythrocytic marrow hyperplasia. Both granulocytic and erythrocytic marrow hyperplasia were associated with decreased marrow lipid content. The viscosity of the intercellular substances and the mucopolysaccharide content of this material were significantly increased in granulocytic marrow hyperplasia. in erythrocytic marrow hyperplasia, the viscosity of the intercellular substances was markedly reduced, while the mucopolysaccharide content was slightly elevated compared with control animals.
