Glycated Hemoglobin, Plasma Glucose, and Erythrocyte Aging
15 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The relationship between HbA1c and blood glucose averages has been characterized many times, yet, a unifying, mechanistic description is still lacking. METHODS: We calculated the level of HbA1c from plasma glucose averages based solely on the in vivo rate of hemoglobin glycation, and the different turnover rates for erythrocytes of different ages. These calculations were then compared to the measured...
