The Production of Red Blood Cells is Stimulated By

Question

The production of red blood cells is stimulated by
A) low-density lipoproteins.
B) immunoglobulins.
C) erythropoietin.
D) epinephrine.
E) platelets.

Accepted Answer

Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells.

Note: Although platelets are involved in blood clotting and not the production of red blood cells, low-density lipoproteins are associated with cholesterol and not erythropoiesis, immunoglobulins are antibodies involved in fighting infection, and epinephrine is a hormone involved in the fight or flight response and not erythropoiesis.
