Coburn, R. F.

RESUMO

Dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital were shown to produce carbon monoxide at an average rate of 0.21 ± (SD) 0.05 ml per hour. After intravenous injection of erythrocytes damaged by incubation with N-ethylmaleimide, CO was produced in excess of base-line production for 3 to 4 hours with an average yield of 0.89 ± (SE) 0.046 μmole of carbon monoxide to 1 μmole of heme degraded.
