Endogenous production of carbon monoxide as measured simultaneously in blood and gas phase. 1975

T A Bensinger, and R P Brouillard, and M E Conrad

Endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) production rates and total body haemoglobin content were determined simultaneously in blood and gas phase in 15 individuals. At 24% oxygen (O2) concentration in the closed rebreathing system, a correlation was obtained which revealed that a 1 mumole rise in CO in the gas phase of the system was the result of 48.94 +/- 5.3 (SE) mumoles of CO rise in the body. Three individuals had heat-damaged red cells reinjected intravenously to determine if the recovery rate of the subsequently produced CO was proportionate in both the gas phase and blood phase. Changes in blood CO concentration were not consistently detected by gas phase analysis. Prediction of CO production rates utilizing gas phase data alone did not reflect accurately CO production rates determined from blood carboxyhaemoglobin rises.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002248 Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Monoxide, Carbon
D002263 Carboxyhemoglobin Carbomonoxyhemoglobin,Carbonmonoxyhemoglobin,Carbonylhemoglobin,Carboxyhemoglobin A,Carboxyhemoglobin C
D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements. Eryhem,Ferrous Hemoglobin,Hemoglobin,Hemoglobin, Ferrous
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013997 Time Factors Elements of limited time intervals, contributing to particular results or situations. Time Series,Factor, Time,Time Factor
