Red Blood Cell Metabolism Modulates Muscle Oxygenation and Limits Exercise Capacity: Insights from a Randomized Double‑Blind Crossover Study
By MedXY|Nov 4, 2025
A randomized crossover study in 20 men shows exercise‑induced oxidative stress alters erythrocyte redox and glycolytic metabolism, reduces 2,3‑BPG/ATP generation, and modestly impairs muscle oxygen extraction and arm exercise VO2peak, sugge
