Measurement of red cell mass with isotope dilution remains an important diagnostic test in the evaluation of patients with suspected polycythemia vera (PCV). Results and reference ranges are typically expressed in units normalized for body weight (mL/kg). Obesity is common in polycythemic patients,
Fermentation of medicinal herbs improves their pharmacological efficacy. In this study, we investigated the effects of red-koji fermented red ginseng (fRG) on high-fat diet (HFD)-mediated metabolic disorders, and those effects were compared to those of non-fermented red ginseng (RG). fRG (500, 250
OBJECTIVE
Enhanced red blood cell (RBC) aggregation has an adverse effect on microcirculatory blood flow and tissue oxygenation. It has been previously shown that obesity is associated with increased RBC aggregation. The objectives of the present study were to further characterize obesity-related
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and anti-obesity effects of the Korean red ginseng extract in dogs. To this end, we fed healthy beagles a Korean red ginseng diet and/or snack for 8 weeks. The dogs were submitted to a thorough physical examination, complete blood count, serum
OBJECTIVE
The perinatal outcome of the infant of obese mother is adversely affected and in theory, may involve fetal hypoxia. We hypothesized that an index of fetal hypoxia, the neonatal nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count, is elevated in infants of overweight and obese mothers.
METHODS
Absolute
Blood from non-inbred obese-hyperglycaemic ob/ob-mice or normoglycaemic controls was fixed in glutaraldehyde and embedded in plastic on glass slides. In vertically oriented red blood cells (RBCs) the diameter, central thickness, and toroidal thickness were measured at the diametrical cross section.
Red blood cells (RBCs) from hyperglycaemic ob/ob-mice, normoglycaemic controls, and a healthy man were sucked into a narrow capillary, photographed and measured. Mouse RBCs had a smaller diameter than human ones. Although of normal diameter, the ob/ob-mouse RBCs exhibited increased area and volume,
