Abstract
- 1.1. A prothrombin time test was developed in mice, using 0.1 c.c. heart blood. Prothrombin time values ranged from 15 to 28 seconds and averaged 22.4 seconds.
- 2.2. Following oral administration of 60 to 100 mg. per kg. of 3,3′-methylene-bis-(4-hydroxycoumarin) over a period of three days, the bleeding time was prolonged in some of the mice.
- 3.3. Comparison of bleeding time with coagulation and prothrombin times showed a lack of correlation in many of the mice. Some animals had prolonged bleeding times with normal coagulation and prothrombin times, while others had prolonged coagulation and prothrombin times with a normal bleeding time.
- 4.4. Hematomas were more frequently found in mice with prolonged bleeding time or prothrombin time than in mice with normal values.
- 5.5. The relation of bleeding time and prothrombin time to hemorrhagic tendency was discussed. It appeared that still other factors which were discussed are involved in hemostasis.
