Question
Chapter 33.3, Problem 2TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process erythropoietin in providing a competitive advantage in athletes.
Introduction:
Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidneys. It helps in the formation of red blood cells. These red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the oxygen. Kidney cells are sensitive to low oxygen level in the blood. EPO is used to treat anemia.
