Increased red blood cell count can lower blood sugar

A recent study led by the Medical University of Vienna shows that the haematocrit value, i.e. the proportion of red blood cells in blood volume, has a direct influence on blood sugar levels. The researchers were able to show that an increase in the number of red blood cells directly causes a decrease in blood sugar. The results, which have been published in the journal "Science Advances", could help to find new ways of treating diabetes mellitus.

Further research in clinical trials will be needed to confirm this works for patients. We've done the extensive research all the way from cell-based studies to human data, so we're now at the point where we have a made a strong case for moving ahead with clinical trials Brian Huntly Around 3,100 people are diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) each year in the UK.

Experiment in Leipzig’s floodplain forest: Using tree mortality to support oak regeneration
The pedunculate oaks typical of Leipzig's floodplain forest and other German oak forests are struggling to regenerate in the understorey due to a lack of light. One reason for this is the absence of flooding in floodplain forests. In a two-year oak experiment in Leipzig's floodplain forest, researchers from Leipzig University and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) found that the current tree dieback - caused by drought and pest outbreaks - combined with the thinning of certain understorey species, can actually support oak regeneration.

Experiment in the riparian forest: tree mortality can be used for oak regeneration
The English oaks typical of the Leipzig riparian forest and other German oak forests can hardly rejuvenate due to a lack of light in the undergrowth. One reason for this is the lack of flooding in alluvial forests. Researchers from Leipzig University and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) have discovered in a two-year oak experiment in Leipzig's alluvial forest that the current tree mortality as a result of droughts and the spread of pests can be used in combination with a thinning out of certain species in the undergrowth for oak regeneration.
