11
Baldwin et al., AJP 283:H1292, 2002; Baldwin et al, AJP 284:H81, 2003; and Baldwin et al., JAP 96:893, 2004 CNmetHb HBOC Associated Oxidative Vascular Injury HBOC-301 O-R-PolyHbA 0 -DBBF-Hb CNmetHb
12
HBOCs: General Summary Most HBOCs are vasoactive, in part due to the scavenging of vascular NO. The proximity of HBOCs or its fractions to NO vascular sources may determine the degree of response. HBOCs that can withstand initial NO/oxidative insult due to heme stability and/or in the presence of endogenous reductants may deliver O 2.
