[Cellular interactions and changes in the peripheral blood leukocyte composition in hypokinetic rats]

Along with leukocytosis and an increased number of moderate-size lymphocytes, the peripheral blood of hypokinetic albino rats was found to contain a large number of large mononuclear cells forming rosette-like structures with the erythrocytes. The pathophysiological significance of cell interrelations encountered in the peripheral blood of rats in hypokinesia is discussed.
