Dear Leo:
The results of our assays of tritium and estimates of total Tredy
water (TBW) in your subjects are enclosed.
In addition to tabulating
the data, we have plotted your blood volumes and red cell volumes against
TBW.
The dashed and solid lines on the chart are regression lines that
Francis Moore and I independently derived from our own normal subjects.
About half of your subjects are clustered about may "normal" regression
line.
The other half lie significantly below the lines because of relatively
small red cell volumes.
Plasma volumes appear to lie within the range of
my normal values.
Sincerely,
William &. Siri
