Fetal Hemoglobin in Diabetic Patients

Diabetes Care, 1994
OBJECTIVE To determine the occurrence of elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF) among the diabetic population and determine the clinical situation of importance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted. HbA1c.

Fetal hemoglobin as an index of maturity

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1959
Abstract The percentage of fetal hemoglobin was determined in 200 samples of cord blood and an attempt was made to correlate this percentage with fetal age and weight. In the term group fetal hemoglobin varied from 55 to 95 per cent with an average of 73.3 per cent. The preterm group averaged 80.6 per cent with a range of 66 to 92 per cent, while the

Fetal Hemoglobin Variants in Mice

Science, 1968
Two strains of mice, DBA and C3H, have a fetal globin polypeptide chain which differs in electrophoretic mobility from the corresponding fetal chain of the C57B1 strain. Mice of the DBA and C3H strains also differ from those of the C57B1 in adult hemoglobin type. Results of backcrossing the (DBA × C57B1) hybrid to the C57B1 suggest that the fetal chain

Fetal hemoglobin levels in adults

Blood Reviews, 1994
The synthesis of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is normally reduced to very low levels of less than 0.6% of the total hemoglobin in adults. The HbF is restricted to a sub-population of erythrocytes termed 'F-cells'; 85% of the normal adult population have 0.3% to 4.4% F-cells.

The Bohr effect of fetal hemoglobin

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1968
Abstract The Bohr effect of solutions of hemoglobin A, F, and A-F was studied. Between pH 7.2 and pH 7.8 the calculated Bohr effect was φ = −0.48 for all three solutions. However, between pH 7.2 and pH 6.5 the Bohr effect of hemoglobin F was greater (φ = −0.51) than hemoglobin A (φ = −0.43).

The initiation of fetal hemoglobin biosynthesis

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis, 1979
Biosynthesis of the alpha and beta chains of rabbit and human adult hemoglobin is initiated with a methionyl residue, which is removed during elongation of the peptide chain. To study the initiation of biosynthesis of the delta chain of human fetal hemoglobin, fresh placental blood was used for labeling experiments with radioactive amino acids. Labeled

The heterogeneity of the fetal hemoglobin of the goat

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1969
Abstract The heterogeneity of the goat fetal hemoglobin, which has been observed by measurements of the rate of denaturation in an alkaline medium, was reinvestigated. Analyses of the amino acid compositions of various peptides isolated from a tryptic digest of the γ chain failed to demonstrate a molecular heterogeneity.

The oxygen capacity of fetal hemoglobin

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1964
Abstract The oxygen capacity of fetal blood has been noted to be the same as that of the blood of the human adult. Statistical considerations allow the assumption that the oxygen capacity of fetal hemoglobin is the same as that of the adult hemoglobin as defined by resistance to alkaline denaturation.

Oxygen Transport by Fetal Bovine Hemoglobin

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1996
The functional properties of fetal bovine hemoglobin have been studied as a function of temperature, chloride and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) concentration. The fetal bovine erythrocyte has six times the concentration of the allosteric modulator DPG compared with the adult cell, and yet the oxygen affinity of the fetal hemoglobin still exceeds that of

Fetal Hemoglobin Alters Hemoglobin A_1c Measurements

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1991
Excerpt To the editors:The letter of Holt and colleagues (1) emphasizes that diabetic subjects with hemoglobin S or C traits will have a falsely low hemoglobin A1cvalue if measured by certain metho...
