PREVENTING MATERNAL ANEMIA AMONG VEGETARIANS-A CASE CONTROL STUDY INTRODUCTION: Anemia complicating pregnancy poses a considerable danger to pregnant women and the fetal outcomes. Maternal anemia is defined as presence of less than 9gm% of hemoglobin in blood (Van Hove et. al‚ 2000). There is a significant risk of premature delivery and miscarriage in anemic women. The fetus is also at risk for low birth weight and severe anemia is associated with increased maternal mortalities (Oats J‚ Abraham

Bilirubin is a breakdown end product of heme containing proteins. About 80% of bilirubin is formed from the degradation of erythrocyte hemoglobin after 120 days of erythrocyte life in the blood. The remaining 20% of daily-produced bilirubin is formed from erythrocyte precursors in bone marrow and other heme proteins: myoglobin‚ cytochromes‚ and catalase. Hemoglobin degradation begins with opening of the heme porphyrin ring‚ forming the biliverdin – iron – globin compound known as verdoglobin. Then

experiment it is clear that the hemoglobin molecules of people with sickle cell anemia traveled at a different rate and therefore ended up at different places on the electrophoresis gel. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen through the body. Sickle cell hemoglobin is not like normal hemoglobin. It

TUTORIAL 2: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM OBJECTIVE QUESTION 1) High-flying birds are able to obtain enough oxygen even when the air is very thin because A) they have more efficient lungs than other vertebrates. B) they have reduced amounts of hemoglobin in their blood. C) their mitochondria are more efficient than those of other vertebrates. D) their heart can increase or decrease in size as altitude changes. E) they are able to store oxygen in oxygen chambers within muscle cells. 2) If you were to move from

bodies red blood cell count is below normal. A normal hemoglobin count for a female is 12.0grams/100ml and 13.5grams/100ml for a male. This can be hereditary but it can also occur in the body for a number of reasons such as massive blood loss‚ vitamin deficiency‚ and cell deformities. Anemia Anemia is a common blood disorder that occurs when your level of healthy red blood cells is too low. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin‚ which is responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues

anemia‚ is a blood disorder where the body does not absorb enough iron for proper function (HealthCentral Network‚ 2010). If the body is not getting enough iron‚ then the production of hemoglobin is also affected because iron is needed in order to produce hemoglobin (HealthCentral Network‚ 2010). Along with less hemoglobin in the body‚ the amount of red blood cells and oxygen in the body also goes down (HealthCentral Network‚ 2010). Iron deficiency anemia can be caused by multiple reasons like heavy menstrual

oxygen is also reduced‚ so hemoglobin may not be saturated and tissues would fail to get enough oxygen. In order to combat this‚ animals can alter the amount of oxygen carried in their bloodstream by increasing the concentration of hemoglobin‚ increasing the hematocrit‚ or by changing how well hemoglobin binds oxygen. Animals that travel from low elevations to higher ones usually increase the number of red blood cells and increase DPG concentrations so that hemoglobin binds oxygen less well (which

Erythropoietin and Athletes Steven D. Jackson Student‚ American Military University Abstract Erythropoietin (EPO) use as a performance enhancing agent in sport carries both significant and detrimental risks to go along with its suggested benefits. As such‚ it was banned by the International Olympic Committee in 1990. Shortly thereafter‚ successful and reliable testing methods have been developed to test athletes for its potential use. Despite widespread knowledge of its potential adverse
