Comparison of Plasma Bilirubin Turnover in Man with Carbon Monoxide Production Estimated Simultaneously by Blood and Gas Measurements.
Abstract
Carbon monoxide production in man was measured by both gas phase and by blood analysis. Both measurements correlated well with the simultaneous measurement of plasma bilirubin turnover, but the blood phase measurement is preferred since it is subject to less error. Correspondence of endogenous CO production and plasma bilirubin turnover indicate that heme distributions is the major source of endogenous carbon monoxide in man. (Author)
