The measurement of endogenous carbon monoxide production.
Recent findings that heme oxygenase-1 can be induced by oxidative stress and inflammation in many different cellular systems, and that carbon monoxide (CO) produced as a by-product of this enzyme is a signaling molecule, have generated a major research area with hundreds of studies published over the last few years. The measurement of expired CO concentration has been used in humans as a biomar...
متن کاملVictim of carbon monoxide poisoning identified by carbon monoxide oximetry.
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as a leading cause of unintentional poisoning death in many countries. Diagnosis is usually made by measuring carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), but due to the non-specific symptoms, the crucial step is considering CO poisoning. A possible solution might be screening emergency department (ED) patients. A cutaneous sensor that measures oxygen and CO saturation sim...
متن کاملGlobal Carbon Monoxide Fluxes : Inappropriate Measurement Procedures
Minamata patients in Japan were found to have middlebut not lowfrequency deficits (high frequencies were not tested) with little or no constriction of visual fields (16). Although deficits in peripheral vision, especially constriction of visual fields, may be the most conspicuous and extensive visual lesion in methylmercury poisoning, other visual changes seem to occur at the same time and poss...

متن کاملBiological signaling by carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide-releasing molecules.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is continuously produced in mammalian cells during the degradation of heme. It is a stable gaseous molecule that reacts selectively with transition metals in a specific redox state, and these characteristics restrict the interaction of CO with defined biological targets that transduce its signaling activity. Because of the high affinity of CO for ferrous heme, these targets...
