Functional Effects of the Coexistence of Hb-A with High Oxygen Affinity Hemoglobins
In carriers of abnormal haemoglobins with increased oxygen affinity, polyglobulia is the only possible functional compensation for tissue hypoxia.However, this adaptation is reduced if some Hb-A is used to synthesize hybrid haemoglobins of the type a2bAbX (heterotetramers). In fact, they display in...
