A low hemoglobin level is referred to as anemia or low red blood count. A lower-than-normal number of red blood cells is referred to as anemia and hemoglobin levels reflect this number. There are many reasons (causes) for anemia. What causes low hemoglobin levels? Some of the more common...
Many laboratories report a calculated eAG (estimated average glucose) along with every HbA1c results. This is a correlation of the HbA1c levels with the average blood sugar level. For example, a HbA1c measurement of 7% corresponds to an eAG measurement of 154 mg/dl. The American Diabetes Ass...
Low hemoglobin means that a person's hemoglobin level when measured, is below the lowest limits of normal for their age and sex (see the above-normal range of values). For example, a 19-year-old male would have low hemoglobin if the detected blood value was below 13.6 g/dl. Another te...

These results show, for the first time, that as there is an increase of clathrin protein expression in prostate cancer tissue, there is a con- current, significant and opposite decrease in the expression of caveolin-1. Clathrin and caveolin‑1 expression in low‑, intermediate‑ and...
Results: We found that the gene expression level of FHL2 decreased in prostate cancer compared with that of normal tissue and the gene expressions of PSA, AR and SMRT were not significant. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed that strong associations were found in the pairs of AR ve...
