Oxygen affinity of blood of adult domestic chicken and red jungle fowl

Respiration Physiology
G N Lapennas, R B Reeves

Abstract

Respiratory properties of blood from adult domestic chicken (White Leghorn) and red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus, ancestor of domestic breeds) at 41 degrees C were investigated. Oxygen affinity was the same in blood of chicken and jungle fowl (P0.5 46.7 Torr at pH 7.5, 41 degrees C, PCO2 about 30 Torr). The Hill coefficient, nH, increased from 2 at oxygen saturation 0.1 to a maximum of 4.11 at saturation 0.8. Leghorn fixed acid and CO2 Bohr coefficients were -0.51 and -0.53, with little variation over the saturation range 0.15-0.95, indicating negligible specific CO2 effect. An nH value of greater than 4 may indicate polymerization of deoxyhemoglobin, comparable to that which occurs in sickle cell hemoglobin. A biphasic equilibrium curve shape (hump at the low end of the oxygen equilibrium curve) was noted in blood having some degree of hemolysis. Factors that may have contributed to the differences between previous investigations of chicken oxygen affinity are discussed.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
