HbA1c

(noun)

Glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c, A1C, or Hb1c; sometimes also HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.

Examples of HbA1c in the following topics:

  • Aerobic Training vs. Strength Training

    • In diabetics, both resistance and aerobic exercise protocols appear to be effective in reducing pre- and post-exercise blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels, but resistance exercise produced a more significant reduction in HbA1c level as compared to treadmill exercise.
  • Transport of Oxygen in the Blood

    • Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a protein molecule found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) made of four subunits: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits .
    • As a result, oxygenated arterial blood where the Hb is carrying four oxygen molecules is bright red, while venous blood that is deoxygenated is darker red.
    • It is easier to bind a second and third oxygen molecule to Hb than the first molecule.
    • The oxygen dissociates from the Hb molecule, shifting the oxygen dissociation curve to the right.
    • Thalassemia is a rare genetic disease caused by a defect in either the alpha or the beta subunit of Hb.
  • Base Dissociation Constant

    • Historically, the equilibrium constant Kb for a base has been defined as the association constant for protonation of the base, B, to form the conjugate acid, HB+.
    • The general equation for a base dissociation constant, where B is the base, HB is its conjugate acid, and OH- is hydroxide ions.
  • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

    • Carbon monoxide mainly causes adverse effects in humans by combining with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) in the blood.
    • Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) can revert to hemoglobin, but the recovery takes time because the HbCO complex is fairly stable.
  • Privacy Rights and Abortion

    • North Dakota HB 1572 or the Personhood of Children Act, which passed the North Dakota House of Representatives on February 18, 2009, but was later defeated in the North Dakota Senate, aimed to allocate rights to the pre-born, partially born, and if passed, would likely have been used to challenge Roe v.

  • Immigration Reform

    • Due to conflict and protest, Governor Brewer signed House Bill 2162 (HB 2162) a week later, amending text in the original document.
    • HB 2162 includes that race, color, and national origin would not play a role in prosecution; in order to investigate an individual's immigration status, he or she must be "lawfully stopped, arrested or detained. "
  • Sickle-Cell Disease

    • In HbSS, the full blood count reveals hemoglobin levels in the range of 6–8 g/dL with a high reticulocyte count (as the bone marrow compensates for the destruction of sickle cells by producing more red blood cells).
    • In other forms of sickle-cell disease, Hb levels tend to be higher.
  • Immigration Policy

    • Due to conflict and protest, Governor Brewer signed the Arizona House Bill 2162 (HB 2162) amending text in the original document.
    • HB 2162 includes that race, color, and national origin would not play a role in prosecution; in order to investigate an individual's immigration status, he or she must be "lawfully stopped, arrested, or detained. "
  • Diphtheria

    • Fragment B is a recognition subunit that gains the toxin entry into the host cell by binding to the EGF-like domain of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) on the cell surface.
  • Dry Media

    • Many pencils across the world, and almost all in Europe, are graded on the European system using a continuum from "H" (for hardness) to "B" (for blackness), as well as "F", a letter arbitrarily chosen to indicate midway between HB and H.
    • The standard writing pencil is graded HB.
