The concentration of the protein fractions remained stable after the completion of metamorphosis. In addition, it was observed that the following processes happened during metamorphosis: the erythrocytes, which had been more oval in the larval period, became less ellipsoid upon a gradual increase in their widths, and the erythrocyte concentration decreased with increasing erythrocyte size.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAmphibia: Anura: RanidaePelophylax bedriagaemetamorphosisblood-serum proteinserythrocyte count and sizephysiologyelectrophoresisTurkeyArticle2401.Feb311WOS:000293549200001Q4
