NO Metabolism in Red Blood Cells and the Hemoglobin Oxygenation in Pregnant Women with the Cytomegalovirus Infection Exacerbation

چکیده
CMV infection during pregnancy induces a number of N-nitrosation reactions in red blood cells, which violate process of normal hemoglobin oxygenation. Abnormalities in the L-arginine-NO system cause a decrease in the antioxidant capacity of red blood cells, which is associated with reducing the amount of glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.
