No red blood cells? No problem. Icefish, meet the Asian noodlefish news.northeastern.edu/2026/01/

"Antarctic Icefish are famous for living without red blood cells, but they are not alone. A species of needle-shaped, warm-water fish also lacks #hemoglobin and red blood cells. Like #icefish, its veins are filled with translucent white blood... #noodlefish adults retain juvenile features... In many other #fish, juveniles don’t need to make red blood cells because they absorb oxygen through their skin"

Question for the scientifically-minded:

As an endurance athlete and former #EMT But I have been thinking about this for maybe the past week or so.

Elite marathon runners train at high altitudes where the air is thinner and then run races at lower elevations where the air is denser. But...

What would happen if someone did brutal cardio workouts (assault bike, rowing machine, ski, etc.) in a hyperbaric chamber? How would performance, anaerobic fatigue, endurance be impacted? Nothing more than 2 ATA (66 feet-salt water) to start.

Understanding the blood and muscle tissue would be highly saturated with O2, far more than what hemoglobin would normally carry, does this mean the athlete would feel "supercharged"? On the other hand, what dangerous would arise? There are questions surrounding gas exchange. Would the body be able to clear the CO2? Initially, more oxygen = more performance but the body responds to stress and hypoxia.

It's an interesting idea. Thoughts, anyone?

The #macrophage CD163 receptor clears free #hemoglobin in the bloodstream by binding the HpHb complex. The #cryoEM structure of CD163-HpHb complex, by @chingshinhuang &co, reveals how CD163-mediated endocytosis clears different HpHb isoforms @PLOSBiology plos.io/4nNBbGI

A map in transparent representation is contoured at a low level to show electron density for the unresolved flexible domain D1 and unbound HpHb protomer.

When you eat a that is rich in , it stimulates production. It also helps transport to other . Hemoglobin compensates for any loss of resulting from internal or external injuries. , who lose blood during , should make sure to eat plenty of to avoid during and after their monthly cycles. However, iron is an for men as well.

You’ve heard of blue-blooded, but that pales (literally) in comparison to white-blooded icefishes 🐟, the only #vertebrates without #hemoglobin! 🩸 Shin et al., (with help from #SequenceServer!) reveal that #gene loss may be to blame. Congrats to the authors! 🎉

I felt a bit meh during my last few #running races. Could not push hard on uphills and constantly short of breath. So I went to get my blood tests done. #Anemic. Very low iron levels. Very low #hemoglobin. Explains few things. Scheduled on iron infusion and bought 100mg(!) Iron tablets plus #Vegan multivitamin complex.

Don't be like me. Get yourself checked regularly to make sure.

Iron <10 (30-350 norm)
Hemoglobin 12.6 (13.5-16.8 norm)
