2018). Hb adducts from acrylamide have been associated with inhibin B and sex hormone binding globulin in adult men (Chu et al., 2020), but not with testosterone or estradiol. Already in 1960's there were several reports that described neurotoxicity in workers with exposure to acrylamide, e....
Low iron may develop as soon as within the first year of life. Babies who are born prematurely or who are exclusively breast fed or fed formula that does not contain adequate levels of the mineral are at risk. Babies between the ages of 1 and 2 years old may become anemic from a lack...

Gas Transport: Cooperative Binding of Oxygen with Hemoglobin from Chapter 5 / Lesson 9 94K Gas transport is how cells in the body receive oxygen through the cooperative binding of oxygen with hemoglobin. Explore hemoglobin, oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve, cooperative binding of hemoglobin, and...
Once in the blood, Cort circulates bound to a carrier protein corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) which is part of the transport part of the system ( gray lines). Cort provides negative feedback signals for ACTH release from the pituitary as well as CRH release from the hypothalamus. More...
