Oxygen-transport capacity

Most tissues are constantly dependent on a supply of molecular oxygen (O2) to maintain their oxidative metabolism. Due to its poor solubility, O2 is bound to hemoglobin for transport in the blood (see p. 280). This not only increases the oxygen transport capacity, but also allows regulation of O2 uptake in the lungs and O2 release into tissues. 

Mecfianism of Action A trace element that is an essential component in the formation of Hgb. It s necessary for effective erythropoiesis and oxygen transport capacity of blood, and transport and utilization of oxygen, and serves as cofactor of several essential enzymes. Therapeutic Effect Replenishes body iron stores in patients who have iron deficiency anemia. 

The authors suggested that marijuana had increased the blood carboxyhemoglobin concentration, leading to reduced oxygen transport capacity, increased oxygen demand, and reduced oxygen supply.

Absorbance of the partly oxidized TF+-citrate solution is measured at 527 nm on a U 7V1S spectrophotometer. Released oxygen on a whole-plant basis is determined by extrapolation of the measured absorbance to a standard calibration curve. These hydroponic studies using artificial redox buffer may be useful in screening related response of wetland plants to reduced soil conditions. However, the conditions do not truly mimic the conditions in wetland soils. Oxidation of other reductants such as DOC, ferrous iron, and ammonium can also be used to estimate oxygen transport capacity of wetland plants (Reddy et al., 1990 Burgoon and Reddy, 1996). 

Accordingly, the important oxygen transport capacity of hemoglobin and the disease state of sickle cell anemia are explicable in terms of spatially localized and moveable cusps of insolubility, that is, water solubility-insolubility divides, in terms of the consilient mechanism. 

The oxygen transporting capacity of SNO-PEG-Hb was evaluated using a hemorrhagic shock model in rats by monitoring the redox state of cytochrome oxidase reduction of cerebral tissues, in which a near-infrared spectroscopy... 

The success of Ce02 based catalysts in oxidation reactions is mairdy due to the unique combination of an elevated oxygen transport capacity coupled with the ability to shift easily between reduced and oxidised states [3].
