CellQuest President Edward Ameen comments: âWhile we are obviously encouraged with the results of Dr. Douâs research and anecdotal reports, we realize that more extensive research is key if we are to conclusively demonstrate the efficacy of the musaceas plant extract in boosting the bodyâs immune system.â # # # About CellQuest, Inc.

Nerve Cell Oxygen Deprivation. Nerves are extremely sensitive to changes in cellular oxygen levels. A slight reduction can cause tingling, weakness, pain or numbness in the area served by that nerve.
Hormone, erythropoietin: Erythropoietin is a substance produced by the kidney that leads to the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Abbreviated: EPO. The kidney cells that make EPO are specialized and are sensitive to low oxygen levels in the blood coming into the kidney. These cells release erythropoietin when the oxygen level is low in the kidney. Erythropoietin stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells which in turn increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. EPO is the prime regulator of red cell production.
