Comparative In Vivo Effects of Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOC) with Varying Prooxidant and Physiological Reactivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier candidates (HBOC), previously noted for their differences in prooxidative and physiological reactivity, were compared in terms of the negative effects displayed upon injection in Wistar rats. At the concentrations tested, antioxidant strategies based on albumin as well as based on rubrerythrin appear to offer observable physiological advantages.

Model of nitric oxide diffusion in an arteriole: impact of hemoglobin-based blood substitutes.
Administration of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) frequently results in vasoconstriction that is primarily attributed to the scavenging of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) by cell-free hemoglobin. The ensuing pressor response could be caused by the high NO reactivity of HBOC in the vascular lumen and/or the extravasation of hemoglobin molecules. There is a need for quantitative un...

Vasoconstriction is a major adverse effect of first and second generation hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) that hinders their development as blood substitute. However, intravenous infusion of HBOC-201 (second generation) to patients induces significant pulmonary hypertension without significant coronary vasoconstriction. We compared contractile responses of isolated bovine pulmonary and...

Artificial oxygen carriers (AOCs) can be abused by the athletes to improve their aerobic capacity. The AOCs produce a performance enhancing effect, especially in endurance sports. This article presents a method for the rapid screening of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) in blood samples. Common screening tests to reveal HBOC misuse by athletes are based on colorimetric detection since H...

Hemoglobin-based O(2) carriers (HBOCs), which are developed as an alternative to blood transfusion, provide O(2) delivery. At present, there is no model to predict the O(2) transport for a red blood cell-HBOC mixture on a whole organ basis. On the basis of the first principles of mass balance, a model of O(2) transport for an organ was derived to calculate venous Po(2) (Pv(O(2))) for a given in...

Severe adverse events have been observed following the infusion of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOCs) in patients subjected to elective orthopedic procedures, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, and vascular surgical procedures. Along with all three of the hemoglobin based oxygen carriers, the patients received Ringer’s D,L-lactate as the resuscitation fluid, Ringer’s D,L lactate in the excip...
