certain hormones, such as androgens, epinephrine, thyroid hormones, and growth hormone, can affect the oxygen - hemoglobin saturation/dissociation curve by stimulating the production of which compound?
2,3 - bisphosphoglycerate (bpg)
glucose
carbon dioxide
bicarbonate

Explanation:

2,3 - bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) binds to hemoglobin and affects its affinity for oxygen. Hormones like androgens, epinephrine, thyroid hormones, and growth hormone can stimulate its production. Glucose is a simple sugar for energy. Carbon dioxide is a waste gas. Bicarbonate is related to acid - base balance.

Answer:

2,3 - bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)
