Correct Option: B
⚈ Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that prevents anemia (low blood count) by making red blood cells. Anemia causes fatigue and low energy levels. It occurs when there are not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to supply all the body’s needs. Erythropoietin has its primary effect on red blood cells progenitors and precursors by promoting their survival through protecting these cells from apoptosis.
⚈ Anti-fibrin 99 is involved in animal cell separation.
⚈ Collagenase enzyme helps in wound healing by assisting in blood clot formation.
⚈ Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron in biological fluids.
