Erythroid and nonerythroid effects of EPO. Under hypoxic conditions, EPO promotes increased production of red blood cells (RBC). In the hypothalamus, EPO-Rs expressed in POMC-producing neurons regulate food intake and energy expenditure. In white adipose tissue, EPO decreases inflammation, normalizing insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose intolerance. In the pancreas, EPO exerts anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, proliferative, and angiogenic effects on β-cells.
