When you eat a #balanceddiet that is rich in #iron, it stimulates #hemoglobin production. It also helps transport #oxygen to other #bodycells. Hemoglobin compensates for any loss of #blood resulting from internal or external injuries. #Women, who lose blood during #menstruation, should make sure to eat plenty of #ironrichfoods to avoid #anemia during and after their monthly cycles. However, iron is an #essentialelement for men as well. #traceminerals

You’ve heard of blue-blooded, but that pales (literally) in comparison to white-blooded icefishes 🐟, the only #vertebrates without #hemoglobin! 🩸 Shin et al., (with help from #SequenceServer!) reveal that #gene loss may be to blame. Congrats to the authors! 🎉

I felt a bit meh during my last few #running races. Could not push hard on uphills and constantly short of breath. So I went to get my blood tests done. #Anemic. Very low iron levels. Very low #hemoglobin. Explains few things. Scheduled on iron infusion and bought 100mg(!) Iron tablets plus #Vegan multivitamin complex.

Don't be like me. Get yourself checked regularly to make sure.

Iron <10 (30-350 norm)
Hemoglobin 12.6 (13.5-16.8 norm)

There will be blood

This is seriously cool! With all the fake tech hype all around, let's not forget there is real amazing progress happening.

Steller’s sea cows were hunted to #extinction off #Alaska within 30 years of first observation by Europeans. Their closest relatives ( #manatees, #dugongs) live in much warmer waters.

How did Steller’s sea cows adapt to cold? Signore et al. (2023) reconstructed the #hemoglobin and showed a single mutation provided more oxygen to tissues for higher metabolic rates via multiple mechanisms - lower O2 affinity, higher solubility, etc.

The very first thing I ever did in a lab was work on reptile allosteric modulators of hemoglobin, way back in 1993-94.
This new @CurrentBiology article provoked some nostalgia
