Information Fact Sheet What is Hemoglobin A1c? Hemoglobin (Hb) is the compound in the red blood cells that transports oxygen. One of the types of hemoglobin (Hb) is called HbA; HbA1c is a specific subtype of HbA. Glucose binds slowly to Hb and produces glycosylated Hb. There are several types of glycosylated hemoglobin measures (including total glycosylated Hb and HbA1)‚ but HbA1c‚ which is formed when HbA is glycosylated‚ is now considered the best and standard measure. The higher the blood sugar

Sickle Cell Anemia is an inherited disorder that affects the building of hemoglobin in the body. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that moves oxygen through the body. People are born with sickle cell anemia when they inherit two abnormal genes from both parents (one from each). People with sickle cell disease has a hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Normally cells move through the body easily but for people who have sickle cell anemia‚ their cells tend to block blood vessels. Normal red blood

Hemoglobin has a molecular heat transducer through it oxygenation deoxygenation cycle. Hemoglobin has a modulator of erythrocyte metabolism.

Signature Assignment The terms mentioned in John Doe’s medical history are Diabetes Mellitus‚ Anemia‚ and Hemiplegia. The origin of the word diabetes mellitus is English and Latin. Diabetes is English‚ and mellitus is Latin meaning “sweet”‚ “diabetes sweet”. Diabetes mellitus is the most common form of diabetes and is a severe chronic disease caused by insufficient production of insulin resulting in abnormal metabolism of glucose in the blood. The two main types of Diabetes mellitus are insulin

based on size in different fractions. The relative protein content for each one fraction was found through the utilization of an amido black-based protein assay. Later in the trial polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was utilized to separate BSA from hemoglobin. Methods I. Gel Filtration and Protein Assay: 1. A slurry of Bio-Gel P-100 beads in water was added to the column (diameter 1.0 cm‚ length 20 cm) until a height of 10-12 cm was reached. 2. The column was then equilibrated by allowing the liquid

Hypothesis- Activity 3: I would suspect that Hemoglobin levels would be much lower for the Iron deficient female and that the Polycythemia Male and Olympic female would have higher levels.

Review Sheet Results (1) 1. List the hematocrits for the healthy male (sample 1) and female (sample 2) living in Boston (at sea level) and indicate whether they are normal or whether they indicate anemia or polycythemia. 1. The hematocrit value for the healthy male: 48 2. The hematocrit value for the healthy female: 44 Both values are normal because they are between the normal ranges: for males between 42-52% and for females between 42-47%. 2.
