Obstructive sleep apnea promotes whole-body inflammation and weakens the body's immune system. Read about related pathways and health consequences.

Standard hemoglobin screening may miss iron deficiency that could affect maternal health and newborn blood outcomes, including HDFN.

For many years, scientists have been puzzled by individuals who live in high-elevation areas throughout the world. Surveys of high-altitude populations, from areas of the Andes to regions of the ...

A recent mouse study suggests that low-oxygen conditions, such as being at high altitudes, could cause red blood cells to absorb excess blood glucose, potentially helping to protect against diabetes.

Living at high altitude appears to protect against diabetes, and scientists have finally discovered the reason. When oxygen levels drop, red blood cells switch into a new metabolic mode and absorb ...

London: Diabetes is less common among people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, than at sea level, and researchers who have discovered why that happens say the reason may lead to ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Red blood cells may hold the secret to fighting diabetes—by soaking up sugar when oxygen runs low. People who live high in the mountains have long been observed to develop diabetes less often than ...

Erythrocytosis is defined as an abnormally high red-cell mass (typically >125% of predicted) (1). In practice, elevated hemoglobin or hematocrit raises the concern, but true absolute erythrocytosis ...
