EPO
Erythropoietin is a stimulant not a steroid. :)
Erythropoietin is secreted by the kidney to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
Erythropoietin targets cells in the bone marrow called erythroid progenitor cells. These cells differentiate and proliferate in response to erythropoietin, leading to the production of red blood cells.
The production of red blood cells is stimulated by erythropoietin, which is produced in the kidneys.The production of white blood cells is stimulated by mainly colony-stimulating factor, which is produced by endothelial cells and marrow fibroblasts.The production of platelets is stimulated by thrombopoietin, which is produced in the liver and kidneys.
Erythropoietin is a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
