Erythropoietin: a prime regulator of red cell differentiation
Abstract:
Erythropoietin, a glycoprotein hormone that regulates erythroid differentiation, has been recognized for several decades. Recently, the study of this hormone has increased markedly. It has been purified and partially sequenced. There are several monoclonal and site-specific polyclonal antibodies to it that have revealed important structural information. The gene appears to have been cloned. Current efforts to understand its mode of action will yield answers to questions of importance to both basic scientists and clinicians.

Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
EPO then...
