LUOMANMAKIJCIMMO, AND RONALD F. COBURN. Effds of metabolism and distribution of carbon monoxide on blood and body stores. Am. J. Physiol. 2 17(Z) : 354-363. 1 969.-14C0 was administered to 3 1 anesthetized dogs and 5 normal subjects who were breathing in a closed system. 14C0 was oxidized to 14C02 at average rates of 0.30 =t (SD) 0.18 and 0.16 & 0.03 a/,/hr of the total. administered in dog and...

BACKGROUND Elevated blood carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels are used to confirm a clinical diagnosis of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) and, in some instances, assess severity of poisoning. However, many hospital laboratories cannot measure COHb because they do not have CO-oximeters. In such instances, blood samples are often sent to outside laboratories or with a transported patient for measure...

The protective effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) against cigarette smoke (CS) induced alterations in human erythrocyte was studied using an in vitro model. Hemolysis, carboxyhemoglobin, osmotic fragility, hemin, lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein thiol, protein carbonyl, glutathione, antioxidant enzymes, membrane bound ATPases and erythrocyte ghost protein were assessed to investigate ...

BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are serious health problems, and effect of reducing the blood's oxygen carrying capacity. Deaths due to CO poisoning are mostly related to myocardial injury and central nervous system pathologies. AIM The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between carbon monoxide intoxication, QT dispersion, and cardiac markers. MATERIALS AND ...

Objective: The study aimed to measure the levels of total thiol, an antioxidant parameter, in patients who presented emergency department (ED) with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning under normobaric oxygen therapy (NBOT), evaluate time-dependent changes thiol within first 6 hours, and examine course antioxidants CO poisoning.
