Abstract: Elevated erythropoietin (EPO) levels have been reported to predict poor survival in various populations including diabetic patients. However, data regarding its impact on renal outcomes are scarce. We conducted a single-center, prospective cohort study of… read more here.

Abstract: Eight 4-min cycles of intermittent hypoxia represent the shortest hypoxic exposure to increase erythropoietin (EPO) levels in young adults. The impact of aging on the EPO response to a hypoxic stimulus remains equivocal. Thus, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13053-018-0097-x
Abstract: BackgroundHemangioblastomas are associated with elevated hemoglobin (Hb) levels (polyglobulia), which is associated with a higher risk for cerebral stroke, cardiac infarction and pulmonary embolism. The pathomechanism of polyglobulia remains unclear and different theories have been… read more here.

Association of Endogenous Erythropoietin Levels and Iron Status With Cognitive Functioning in the General Population

DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.862856
Abstract: Background Emerging data suggest that erythropoietin (EPO) promotes neural plasticity and that iron homeostasis is needed to maintain normal physiological brain function. Cognitive functioning could therefore be influenced by endogenous EPO levels and disturbances in… read more here.
