Ketosis is a nutritional process characterised by serum concentrations of ketone bodies over 0.5 mM, with low and stable levels of insulin and blood glucose. It is almost always generalized with hyperketonemia, that is, an elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood throughout the body.
Hemoglobin (American) or haemoglobin (British) (/ËhiËmÉËÉ¡loÊbÉªn, ËhÉ-, -moÊ-/[1][2][3]); abbreviated Hb or Hgb, is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates[4] (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae[5]) as well as the tissues of some invertebrates.
Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein found in the blood of nearly all vertebrates and many invertebrates. It transports oxygen from the lungs or gills of an animal to the tissues.Four polypeptide chains, each wrapped in a specific way around its own heme group, make up the hemoglobin molecule.An iron atom in the ferrous state (Fe 2+) sits in the middle of the heme. Ferric hemoglobin (Fe 3+) cannot bind oxygen.t transports oxygen from the lungs or gills of an animal to the tissues. Four polypeptide chains, each wrapped in a specific way around its own heme group, make up the hemoglobin molecule. An iron atom in the ferrous state (Fe 2+) sits in the middle of the heme.
