| Sumario: | Erythrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the human body, although considered as merely hemoglobin carriers for a long time. Extensive studies on its biochemical pathways, metabolism, and structure-activity relationship with a consistent number of publications demonstrated the presence of autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine hormone receptors. In this chapter, some of these hormones will be discussed, bringing attention to those that regulate erythrocyte survival, disease connection, and functionality. |
