Carbon monoxide (CO) has long been known as a "silent killer" because of its ability to bind hemoglobin (Hb), leading to reduced oxygen carrying capacity of Hb, which is the main cause of CO poisoning (COP) in humans. Emerging studies suggest that mitochondria is a key target of CO ...

Carbon monoxide(CO) is an odorless, colorless, and flammable gas that is less dense than air. Given the inherent nature of not being able to visualize, smell, or taste CO, exposures often remain undetected without a monitoring system. CO is one of the leading modern intoxications in human ...
Because of its low boiling point, carbon monoxide is shipped as a nonliquified compressed gas. It is also known as carbon oxide, flue gas, and monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a flammable gas and is incompatible or reactive with strong oxidizers, such as bromine trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, ...

M.: Modeling the 10 effect of plume-rise on the transport of carbon monoxide over Africa with NCAR CAM, Atmos.Guan, H., Chatfield, R. B., Freitas, S. R., Bergstrom, R. W., and Longo, K. M.: Modeling the 37 effect of plume-rise on the transport of carbon monoxide over Africa...
In this review the effects of carbon monoxide on tissular oxygenation, at doses which are compatible with life, are considered. In a first section the relative CO−O2 affinity (M*) of various O2 carrying proteins is compared; M* is about 220 for hemoglobin, 20–25 for myoglobin and ...
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas has no color. It has no taste. It has no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause people to cough. But it is very deadly. It robs the body of its ability to...
In this respect, dietary anti-oxidative supplements such as rutin and L-arginine have shown beneficial effects on severity of hepatic I/Ri [11]. Moreover, carbon monoxide (CO) has raised particular therapeutic interest because of its potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. CO is ...
Carbon monoxide (CO), like nitric oxide (NO), is an essential signalling molecule in humans. It is active in the cardiovascular system as a vasodilator. In addition, CO possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-proliferative properties and protects tissues from hypoxia and reperfusion in...
