Our ability to breathe oxygen is critical to our survival. This process is mediated by the hemoglobin in our blood, which carries oxygen. Since air contains less oxygen on high mountains, the body is under pressure to make hemoglobin rapidly—a stressful time. But what role does cellular stres...
The invention relates to a method for preserving the stability of a hemoglobin blood substitute comprising maintaining the hemoglobin blood substitute in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen. The invention also involves a method for producing a stable polymerized hemoglobin blood-substitute from ...
There's evidence from studies that menstruation affects biomarker levels in menstruating women. Hemoglobin,ferritin, and percent transferrin saturation are usually lower in samples collected from females during the luteal phase of the cycle. [3] In other words, your iron status can be lower if you...

Oral medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, DPP-4 and SGLT2 inhibitors act on the body to reduce blood sugar in various ways. GLP-1 receptor agonists are typically injectable medications to reduce blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. The Food and Dr...
The second one is a molecule that binds irreversibly with hemoglobin in our blood, disturbing the transport of oxygen and causing countless deaths of people with leaking installations of stoves that are used to heat houses, Sulfur oxides (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NO₂), which cause ...
