Hemoglobin Levels in Control, Hypoxic, and Different Pretreated Groups.

Group	Hemoglobin G/dl
Control	12.1 ± .72
SN	5.5 ± .62+
SN and CRN	10.2 ± 1.3*
SN and N-CRN	9.3 ± .22*

Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 6). * = P ≤ .05 compared to hypoxic group, and ⁺ = P ≤ .05 compared to control group.

Abbreviations: SN, sodium nitrite; CRN, curcumin; N-CRN, nano-curcumin.
