Abstract. In 21 hyperthyroid female patients studied on 29 occasions, high levels of red-cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) have been found (5.75 ± 0.7 mm) which, compared to a euthyroid control group (4.88 ± 0.4 mm), could not be accounted for by differences in haematocrit, haemoglobin or phosphataemia. A significant correlation was found (P < 0.05) between serum thyroid hormones and the 2,3-DPG concentration in the hyperthyroid patients. Eight of these patients were reexamined after treatment and normalization of thyroid function, showed a regression to normal 2,3-DPG values (4.81 ± 0.6 mm) which could not be attributed to variations in haematocrit, haemoglobin or phosphataemia either. We therefore deduce that the shift to the right in the haemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve observed in patients of this type may be due to an increase in the red-cell 2,3-DPG content.

The Bohr effect of the blood and the red cell hemolysates of adult and newborn humans, goats and kids, and sheep and lambs were determined and the physiological significance is discussed. Similar determinations were made on blood from an African elephant, yak, camel, Dybowski deer, and llama. The strong displacement to the right of the oxygen dissociation curve which occurs in kids and lambs during the first 5 days of life can be largely explained by a change in the pH value within the erythrocytes. When the oxygen affinity is expressed by the oxygen pressure necessary for half saturation (T50) at a constant cell pH, considerable differences exist between species.

Abstract We report here the development of a new method that allows continuous determination of the oxygen dissociation curve for microsamples (600 µl) of whole blood under conditions of pH, pco2, methemoglobin concentration, and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate content closely approaching those found in the circulatory system. The method consists of gradually oxygenating a blood sample by adding H2O2 in the presence of catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), to produce the reaction H2O2 → H2O + ½ O2. Because the total oxygen content of blood can be derived from the known rate of H2O2 addition and the po2 is determined in the liquid phase by an oxygen electrode, the two functions (total O2 content) and (% oxygen saturation) vs. po2 are simple to calculate. pco2 and pH are controlled by adding base simultaneously with the gradual oxygenation of blood. The method described thus avoids the direct measurement of oxygen saturation of whole blood.
