Organisms living under aerobic conditions need oxygen for the metabolic conversion of nutrition into energy. With the appearance of increasingly complex animals, a specialized transport system (erythrocytes) arose during ...

Men living at high altitudes in Peru compared to sea level counterparts have erythrocytosis (hemoglobin 16-21 g/dl) or excessive erythrocytosis (hemoglobin>21 g/dl). High testosterone (T) levels in men at high altitude ...

A 10-year-old endurance horse was presented because of tiredness in training, inability to finish the races, and colic in competition. The horse was continuously supplemented with four different hematinic compounds for ...

In chronic mountain sickness (CMS), increased blood oxygen (O2)-carrying capacity due to excessive erythrocytosis (EE, [Hb] ≥ 21 g/dL) could be offset, especially during exercise by both impaired cardiac output (Qt) and ...
