For years, researchers have observed that people who live at high elevations, where oxygen is scarce, tend to develop ...

Daijiworld Media Network - San Francisco San Francisco, Feb 23: Living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, may protect against diabetes, and scientists have now identified the biological ...

Scientists discover reason high altitude protects against diabetes: Study ...

Anemia in young adult women is rarely caused by a single factor. Instead, it reflects a layered interaction of nutritional deficiencies, physiological demands, chronic illnesses, genetic ...

Chronic hypoxia improves glucose tolerance in mice through insulin-independent mechanisms, with red blood cells acting as a major systemic glucose sink. Increased erythrocyte production and altered ...

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red ...

After a long trail race, some of your red blood cells may not bend the way they should. That matters because red blood cells have a tight job description.

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes ...

Researchers aimed at clarifying the mechanism underlying this connection and tracking the fate of glucose in hypoxic animals.

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...
