Haemoglobin in a sentence

Increased disease susceptibility Veal calves' dietary intake of iron is restricted to achieve a target haemoglobin concentration of around 4.6 mmol/l; normal concentration of haemoglobin in the blood is greater than 7 mmol/l.

Candidates include the inherited condition sickle cell anaemia, in which a single gene defect disrupts haemoglobin production with serious consequences for patients, who suffer anaemia because their bodies are starved of oxygen.

Kathy was eventually taken across the city for treatment following her fall on October 28. Doctors decided the pensioner should be kept in and administered a blood transfusion as her haemoglobin was low.

The 62-year-old began her Not Dead Yet tour on February 1 and between dates in Greenock, she told her followers that her haemoglobin levels were back up despite the gruelling chemotherapy she is receiving.

If, as you mentioned, your haemoglobin and ferritin levels are back to normal, it's unlikely this strange taste is caused by the anaemia.

Luckily, haemoglobin in our blood so it doesn’t form air bubbles and get stuck.

My haemoglobin levels were so low that I had to have continuous transfusions to the point that I became bed-bound.

We managed to bring his haemoglobin levels to normal,” she said.

At six months, blood glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (6.7 per cent versus 7.2 per cent).

Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body in a substance called haemoglobin.

In March, she had to return to the PHC citing health problems, and a blood test done in a private laboratory found that she was anaemic with haemoglobin levels far below standards.

After 1959, Perutz and his colleagues went on to determine the structure of oxy- and deoxy- haemoglobin at high resolution.

A further interest was the variation of the haemoglobin molecule from species to species to suit differing habitats and patterns of behaviour.

As protein crystals were difficult to obtain he used horse haemoglobin crystals, and began his doctoral thesis on its structure.

Calves with blood haemoglobin concentrations of below 4.5 mmol/l show clear signs of increased disease susceptibility and immunosuppression.

Haemoglobin was a subject which was to occupy him for most of his professional career.

In addition Perutz studied the structural changes in a number of haemoglobin diseases and how these might affect oxygen binding.

It also increases O2 dissociation from haemoglobin by increasing red blood cell 2,3-BPG levels.

Page 109. Lawrence Bragg who was head of the Professor of Experimental Physics at Cavendish, thought that Perutz's research into haemoglobin had promise and encouraged him to apply for a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to continue his research.
