Hemoglobin binds oxygen and delivers it all over the body. Low and high levels can both be bad; learn what yours mean and how to improve them.
An RBC contains hemoglobin, a molecule specially designed to hold oxygen and carry it to cells that need it. The primary function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. RBCs contain a protein called hemoglobin that actually carries the oxygen. In...
A complete blood count panel measures various components of the blood to provide a comprehensive overview of the cells that make it up.Low valuesof red blood cell count, or RBC, hemoglobin, or Hb, and hematocrit, or HCT, would indicate that the patient is suffering from anemia. ...

It’s actually a system designed to spare thebreakdown of protein. This is to save protein for important tasks. Such as making antibodies to fight infection, enzymes, and hemoglobin. Where does the protein that the ketone bodies are sparing come from if you’re not consuming enough protein?
(Citation2011) explored the known differential effects of EPA and DHA in human subjects, and concluded that there is an apparent efficacy of DHA to improve several cardiovascular risk factors, and although both EPA and DHA can reduce TAG levels, the actual role for EPA has not yet been fully...
The most subacute clinical feature of obstetric hemorrhage is anemia, with severe fatigue as the most important symptom.2 RBC transfusions are not primarily intended to increase postpartum Hb level, but should reduce this subacute morbidity and particularly improve health related quality of life (...
Thus, we recommend further studies to test the malaria-iron deficiency hypothesis and suggest that control of malaria and other infections could be utilized as an additional strategy to improve the iron status of children living in Africa.

How useful is the current knowledge of the mechanisms of the inflammatory process to improve the manage- ment of COVID-19 progression? In COVID-19, the role of the inflammatory and immune mediators, together with genetic predisposition related to immune regulation, and exposure to air pollution,...
