Abstract: Methemoglobin is hemoglobin containing ferric iron rather than ferrous iron which renders it incapable of binding to oxygen. Blood sampling of fish is done under sedation or general anesthesia. Tricaine methanesulfonate (TMS) or benzocaine is… read more here.

Abstract: The ubiquitous nature of hemoglobins, their presence in multiple forms and low cellular expression in organisms suggests alternative physiological functions of hemoglobins in addition to oxygen transport and storage. Previous research has proposed enzymatic function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ijlh.13581
Abstract: Methemoglobin (MetHb) and sulfhemoglobin (SHb) measurements are useful in the evaluation of cyanosis. When one or both values are elevated, additional analysis is important to establish the etiology of the disorder. Methemoglobinemia occurs from acquired… read more here.
