KROK 1 2021 – Question 83 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Lung pathologies stimulate adaptive changes in the human body to ensure better oxygen supply to the tissues. One of these adaptive changes is the increased synthesis of the following in the erythrocytes:
- A. Fructose-1,6-diphosphate
- B. 1,3-diphosphoglycerate
- C. Glucose-6-phosphate
- D. 3-phosphoglycerate
- E. 2,3-diphosphoglycerate
Hint
Think about how red cells can lower the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin during chronic hypoxia, so that more oxygen is released in the tissues.
