Haemoglobin and flow-mediated vasodilation.
- Abstract:
-
A low [Hb] (Hb concentration) is out-balanced by peripheral vasodilation via mechanisms that are incompletely understood. Peripheral vasodilation is influenced by NO (nitric oxide) released from vascular endothelium in response to increased vessel wall shear stress, and absorption by Hb is the main mechanism by which the bioactivity of NO is disarmed. Thus we propose that graded NO absorption is the mechanism through which a low [Hb] is related to peripheral vasodilation. In the present study...
