The effect of endogenously produced carbon monoxide on the oxygen status of dogs infected with Babesia canis
Carboxyhaemoglobin fractions were found to be significantly higher (p0,05) in dogs (n=5) with severe babesiosis than in control subjects (n=5). The enzymatic conversion of haem to biliverdin by haem oxygenase is the only known source of endogenous carbon monoxide. We propose that the increased produ...
