Abstract
Amphibians erythropoiesis is similar to that of vertebrates in general, comprising: (1) an erythropoietin hormonal stimulation, for differentiation, (2) a lineage of pre cursor maturing cells, (3) alfa and beta globin chains synthesis, (4) an adequate iron supply for heme synthesis, followed by (5) the final hemoglobin (Hb) biosynthesis. Several studies try to establish a correlation between mitochondria and heme synthesis, and the final Hb biosynthesis.
