Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of altitude on oxygen binding by hemoglobin and on organic phosphate levels
Claude Lenfant,J. D. Torrance,Eugenia English,Clement A. Finch,César Reynafarje,José Geraldo Lopes Ramos,Jose Faura +6 more
TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that with anoxia, the observed rise in organic phosphate content of the red cell is responsible for increased availability of oxygen to tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen transport in man.
Clement A. Finch,Claude Lenfant +1 more
TL;DR: OXYGEN transport is a corporate process involving several organs, each with its own regulatory system, and individual diseases of the heart, lungs or blood may impair the functional capacity of a singl...
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraerythrocytic Adaptation to Anemia
TL;DR: Increases in adenosine triphosphate also occurred but, because of the smaller amount involved, had less effect on the oxygen dissociation curve and in vivo pH changes appear of considerable importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas transport and oxygen storage capacity in some pinnipeds and the sea otter.
TL;DR: The respiratory properties of blood showed no significant adaptive features in O2-Hb affinity or Bohr shift, but a distinctly higher buffering capacity distinguishes blood of marine mammals from terrestrial non-diving species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiration in a primitive air breather, Amia calva.
TL;DR: The changes of gas tensions in central systemic vessels and vessels of the air bladder indicate a tendency for blood to bypass the exchange vessels in a gas exchange organ, either gill or air bladder, when it was not the primary site for oxygen uptake.
