Carbon monoxide endogenous

Methaemoglobin forming compounds should be used cautiously in victims suffering from concurrent carbon monoxide poisoning or hypoxia. The second approach calls for provision of additional sulfur groups to enhance the detoxification of cyanide and thiocyanate by endogenous rhodanese this comes about by giving sodium thiosulphate. 

Atmospheric carbon monoxide can travel thousands of kilometers from its source and has a half-life of 1-2 months (Akimoto, 2003). Although the biological effects of CO differ depending upon whether it is inhaled or endogenously...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is a product of incomplete combustion of carbonaceous material. Common exogenous sources of carbon monoxide include cigarette smoke, gasoline engines, and improperly ventilated home heating units. Small amounts of carbon monoxide are produced endogenously in the metabolic con-... 

The spectrophotometric methods generally compare favorably with gas chromatographic procedures at carboxy-hemoglobm concentrations greater than 2% to 3%, but their precision is poor below these levels. Therefore, they are sufficiently accurate and precise for measurement of carbon monoxide after exogenous exposure but are too insensitive to detect the increased endogenous production of carbon monoxide that occurs in hemolytic anemias.

The enzymatic oxidation of heme produces CO and biliverdin in equimolar amounts (Chapter 29). The CO is transported via the blood to the lungs, where it is released. Although no cases are known in which endogenous CO proved toxic, this carbon monoxide may contribute significantly to air pollution, particularly in crowded and enclosed areas.
