232 SERUM ENZYME STUDY 



Normal limits have been taken as five to ten thousand cells per cubic millimeter. 



Sedimentation Rate 



Two subjects in Team 1 remained within normal sedimentation limits throughout the bottom 

 stay for Team 1, while one subject went above the upper normal limits on two occasions, once 

 at about six bottom days and once on day 15, possibly as an aftermath of a sculpin sting received 

 on the previous day. 



Except for one elevated sedimentation rate on day ten for one subject, all rates for those 

 sampled in Team 2 remained within normal limits. The normal sedimentation rate has been 

 established as to 9 millimeters per hour (Wintrobe). 



Hemoglobin 



Hemoglobin ranged from 13 to 15 grams percent for Team 1 and from 12.5 to 15 grams 

 percent for Team 2. If hemoglobin content is considered to be normal at 14 to 18 grams per- 

 cent, then in Team 1, only one subject remained essentially below normal throughout the run, 

 and one subject in Team 2 made one excursion to a low of 12.5 grams percent. 



The data obtained are not sufficient for statistical analysis. 



Hematocrit 



The hematocrit values for Team 1 appear to be within normal limits, generally around mid- 

 range. The hematocrit picture for Team 2 appears to be concentrated in the second week. The 

 significance of high normal ranges is not completely understood at this time. 



Platelets 



The platelets for both teams appear to be well within normal limits, though once again. 

 Team 2 is on the high normal side of midrange.
