Erythrocyte metabolism plays a crucial role in maintaining oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and redox balance in the body. Dysregulation of erythrocyte metabolism is associated with various pathologies, including anemia, oxidative stress, and cardiovascular diseases. This review examines the metabolic guidelines for improving erythrocyte function and addresses the challenges encountered in managing erythrocyte-related problems. Key areas covered include the metabolic pathways involved in erythrocyte function, such as glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and antioxidant defense systems. Strategies for enhancing erythrocyte metabolism, including nutritional interventions, pharmacological agents, and gene therapy approaches, are discussed.
Moreover, the review highlights common erythrocyte-related problems, such as hemolytic disorders, iron deficiency anemia, and oxidative damage, and explores the underlying metabolic mechanisms contributing to these conditions. Challenges in diagnosing and treating erythrocyte disorders are addressed, including limitations in current diagnostic methods and the need for targeted therapeutic strategies. Overall, this review provides insights into the metabolic principles governing erythrocyte function and offers perspectives on improving diagnosis, management, and treatment outcomes for erythrocyte-related problems. Understanding the intricate metabolic pathways and mechanisms underlying erythrocyte function is essential for developing targeted interventions to optimize erythrocyte health and mitigate the burden of erythrocyte-related disorders
