Regulation of Red Blood Cells. Now that we have discussed the developmental process of RBC. Lets us look at how RBC growth is regulated. The production of RBCs is regulated by a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). EPO is produced in the kidney by peritubular cells that can detect tissue oxygen content. When the oxygen that is delivered to the kidneys is decreased as a result of say, anemia, these cells in the kidney instantly increase the production and release of EPO. In response to the increased synthesis of EPO, committed stem cells in the bone marrow are increased thus producing more RBC. The increased RBC production will lead to an increased oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
