Before heading to the Tour de France a cyclist had a muscle biopsy in his leg. The tests revealed that the dominant muscle fibers were low in myosin ATPase activity and anaerobic enzymes, high in capillary density and myoglobin content. For this athlete to maintain force production, what direct change (in the cytosol) in ion concentration must occur?

24. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidneys and released in response to hypoxia to promote the maturation of RBCs. During the 1980s, a human recombinant form of EPO (rHuEPO) became available. Explain the advantages and dangers of administering someone rHuEPO to increase oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
