Oxidation of rat liver phospholipids: comparison of pathways in homogeneous solution, in liposomal suspension and in whole tissue homogenates.

abstract：:Hemoglobin-vesicles (HbV) have been developed for use as artificial O(2) carriers in which a purified Hb solution is encapsulated within a phospholipid bilayer membrane. In this study, bovine Hb (BHb) was tested as a source of HbV instead of human Hb (HHb). We compared the preparation process and characteristics of BH...
