Hydrogen Sulfide Is a Regulator of Hemoglobin Oxygen-Carrying Capacity via Controlling 2,3-BPG Production in Erythrocytes

Figure 1

Reduced H2S level contributes to increased 2,3-BPG production and decreased Hb-O2 affinity in erythrocytes of Cse-/-mice. WT and Cse-/- mice were administered with saline or GYY4137 (133 μmol/kg). (a–c) Erythrocytes were isolated for determination of the 2,3-BPG level (a) and oxygen dissociation curve ((b) P50 value; (c) representative trace of the oxygen dissociation curve) 24 h after injection. Data are expressed as (). , .
