  2. 1. Towards New Generation of Hemoglobin-Based Blood Substitutes

    Author : Sandeep Chakane; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : hemoglobin; Fetal hemoglobin; Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier; DNA cleavage; comet assay;

    Abstract : Blood transfusion is a clinically significant and crucial process, which saves millions of lives every year. However,shortage of donated blood and the risk of virus transmission through transfusible blood seriously affect theavailability of the blood. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of Hemoglobin Normalization with Epoetin in Chronic Kidney Disease

    Author : Hans Furuland; Björn Wikström; Torbjörn Linde; Peter Barany; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal medicine; Anemia; blood viscosity; cardiac output; chronic kidney disease; renal dialysis; dialysis adequacy; erythopoietin; heart rate variability; hemoglobin; hemorheology; hypertension; kidney transplantation; Kt V; left ventricular hypertrophy; Quality of Life; Invärtesmedicin; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CDK), contributes to reduced Quality of Life (QoL) and is associated with cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. Epoetin raises hemoglobin (Hb) and increases QoL and physical exercise capacity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Engineering of Human Fetal Hemoglobin

    Author : Karin Kettisen; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fetal hemoglobin; protein engineering; recombinant protein production; protein purification; chromatography; oxygen carrier; redox reactions; net surface charge; DNA cleavage;

    Abstract : In blood, the oxygen-transporting protein hemoglobin (Hb) governs the oxygenation of cells and tissues. Naturally, this protein has claimed a place in the center of the research field of artificial oxygen therapeutics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biochemical and Physiological Characterization of Nonsymbiotic Plant Hemoglobins

    Author : Nélida Leiva; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemoglobin; Non-symbiotic hemoglobin; Sugar beet; Ligand binding; Nitric oxide; Gene expression; Gene overexpression; Poplar; Arabidopsis; Lepidium campestre.;

    Abstract : Hemoglobins (Hb) are usually associated with blood in humans. However, these proteins are widely distributed among living organisms. In plants the most known group are the leghemoglobins. Still, other Hbs that not participate in symbiosis are also found. READ MORE

  7. 5. Initiation of spleen contraction resulting in natural blood boosting in humans

    Author : Angelica Lodin; Erika Schagatay; Mats H. Linér; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acclimatization; altitude; apnea; breath-hold diving; hemoglobin; hypercapnia; hypoxia; triggers;

    Abstract : The spleen has been shown to contract in apneic situations in humans as well as in other diving mammals, expelling its stored red blood cell content into circulation. This natural blood boosting may increase the circulating hemoglobin concentration (Hb) by up to 10%, which would enhance the oxygen carrying capacity and likely increase performance. READ MORE
