Best known as the oxygen-carrying component of hemoglobin, the protein that makes blood red, heme also plays a role in chemical detoxification and energy metabolism within the cell. Heme levels ...

This laboratory is engaged in the study of how intrarenal mononuclear phagocytes regulate kidney homeostasis and disease, and how they modulate a transition from acute to chronic disease. A second ...

Heme is the main component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cell maturation depends on ... A glutamine metabolic switch supports erythropoiesis. Science.

Higher intake of heme iron, the type found in red meat and other animal products-;as opposed to non-heme iron, found mostly in plant-based foods-;was associated with a higher risk of developing ...

Researchers have discovered a molecular circuit involving the oxygen-carrying component of hemoglobin -- heme -- that helps maintain proper metabolism in the body, providing new insights into ...

A St. Jude study reveals how glutamine metabolism shifts during red blood cell maturation to prevent oxidative stress and support heme production. Disruptions in this process contribute to disorders ...
