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.
-Iron binds reversibly with oxygen & aids in electron transport. Iron is an important component in Hemoglobin and Myoglobin. Hb-Oxygen carrying protein in RBCs, these cells have the largest concentration of Fe in the body. Mb-Oxygen binding protein of striated and cardiac muscle.
