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.
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin that gives blood its red hue. Hemoglobin contains iron, which makes it an excellent vehicle for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide. As blood passes through the lungs, oxygen molecules attach to the hemoglobin. When the blood passes through the bodyâs tissue, the hemoglobin releases oxygen to the cells. The empty hemoglobin molecules then bond with the tissueâs carbon dioxide or other waste gasses to transport them away.
