Early identification of key changes in erythrocytes in response to inflammatory or infectious diseases saves millions of lives worldwide. As such, this book examines the role of RBCs in immunology. Chapters cover such topics as an iron deficiency in erythrocytes, the modulation of oxidative stress (OS) in erythrocytes in bacterial and viral infections, using human foetal astrocytes (HFAs) as an experimental model to measure early predictive biomarkers for hypertension, and more.Erythrocyte Biochemical markersErythrocytesBiochemical markers.Erythrocytes.610.28Fatima Shad KaneezNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910688370903321Erythrocyte1923590UNINA
