  • [14] From the known atomic mass of iron he calculated the molecular mass of hemoglobin to n × 16000 ( n = number of iron atoms per hemoglobin, now known to be 4), the first determination of a protein's molecular mass. (ipfs.io)
  • Thus, individual low chemoresponsiveness, implying decreased alveolar oxygen and increased hypoxemia, was found associated with acute high altitude intolerance ( 6 - 8 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • This may be brought about by a decline in the tension of oxygen in the inspired air without sufficient compensatory alveolar hyperventilation to maintain alveolar oxygen tension. (medenosrce.net)
  • More mobile muds which occur in areas with an extremely high suspended particulate component to the water column, IMU.MobMud, may contain a similar suite of species to IMU.CapTub although in lower abundance. (marlin.ac.uk)
  • In addition, BME hemoglobin showed a very high oxygen affinity and a decreased rate of auto-oxidation. (scienceopen.com)
  • Will chopping silage at a higher level than usual, such as one foot high, lower the nitrate danger enough to make it safe for feeding? (missouri.edu)
  • Thus, mtDNA may be an important target of natural selection, especially in high altitude birds exposed to cold temperatures and low oxygen pressure. (nature.com)
  • However, these high oxygen concentrations would be associated with oxygen toxicities thus limiting medical application to management of specific medical conditions. (pharmacology2000.com)
  • Encodes a class 1 nonsymbiotic hemoglobin induced by low oxygen levels with very high oxygen affinity. (or.jp)
  • As many as 63.6% of respondents had low Hb levels, 34.5% had normal Hb levels and 1.9% had high Hb levels. (methodist.ac.id)
  • While oxygen transport has been suggested to be key in setting thermal tolerance in warmer climates, this constraint is relaxed in Antarctic fishes and crustaceans, due to high levels of dissolved oxygen. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In the Antarctic Pareledone charcoti at 0°C, oxygen unloading by haemocyanin was poor but supported by high levels of dissolved oxygen. (biomedcentral.com)
  • 53 Given the importance of hemoglobin in the process, it is of interest to know what the actual capacity is for hemoglobin to carry oxygen. (pharmacology2000.com)
  • Nitrate concentrations are higher in the lower parts of the plant. (missouri.edu)
  • Why does the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen increase at higher elevations? (stackexchange.com)
  • Why does the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen increase if an organism lives at a higher elevation where the oxygen pressure is lower? (stackexchange.com)
  • This may be due to several factors, including: Infants tend to have higher average hemoglobin levels than adults. (migzmediagroup.com)
  • Do nitrate levels in bagged corn silage get lower like nitrate levels of silage in a pit? (missouri.edu)
  • Increasing cutting height can help lower the concentrations in the silage, but it does not guarantee that the nitrate levels in the feed will be safe. (missouri.edu)
  • In the following sections, well list out some major reasons for low CO2 levels and the effect that has on ones health. (bloodhealthadvice.com)
  • Exposure times to oxygen at different depths of water (and, hence, different levels of pressure) were quantified and tested based on time to convulsions. (medscape.com)
  • The increased oxygen levels in the skin help to increase the absorption of these nutrients. (skintherapeutics.com)
  • This binding of oxygen to the haemoglobin molecule accounts for the increasing slope of the ODC at low levels of oxygenation. (sajjanheritage.com)
  • In particular, it is not clear why some patients with this condition can develop and function well at very low hemoglobin levels. (ox.ac.uk)
  • The points in the figures showing no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAELs) or lowest- observed-adverse-effect levels (LOAELs) reflect the actual doses (levels of exposure) used in the studies. (cdc.gov)
  • The apparent P50 (oxygen tension at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated) value was derived from the curves, calculated as the R1 scaled value (x) at which the change in R2∗ divided by R2∗at baseline scaled (y) equals 0.5. (tau.ac.il)
  • At 2500 m (8000 ft) the tension of oxygen in the inspired air is about 120 mmHg, the alveolar tension is approximately 80 mmHg, and the hemoglobin is nearly completely saturated. (medenosrce.net)
  • The combination of this cardiac output effect in the magnitude of O 2 desaturation of hemoglobin would yield and up to a 20-fold increase in tissue oxygen transport. (pharmacology2000.com)
  • The metabolic oxygen requirement at rest turns out to be approximately 6 volume% which can be reached in the context of a hyperbaric chamber pressurized to about 3 atm. (pharmacology2000.com)
