Abstrakt: Using Lomb periodogram analysis we have quantified variations in the peripheral neutrophil and platelet counts of the cyclical neutropenia animal model-the grey collie. We found that the amplitudes of the oscillations in these two cell lineages vary concomitantly. Further, the power spectrum and the shape of the oscillations in the absolute neutrophil counts vary together with the amplitude of the oscillations. As the amplitude of the oscillations increases, the height of the second subharmonic increases, giving rise to a distorted oscillation with two peaks per cycle. The particular dynamics of the absolute neutrophil counts can be reproduced by a combination of a delayed peripheral feedback, representing the peripheral control of granulopoiesis through granulocyte colony stimulating factor, together with a sinusoidal input representing an oscillatory input from the pluripotential stem cells to the granulocytic lineage. The same pluripotential stem cell input is probably responsible for the sinusoidal oscillations observed in the other cell lineages.
