In vitro determination of hemoglobin A1c for diabetes diagnosis and management: technology update [PDF]
, 2014 It is fascinating to consider the analytical improvements that have occurred since glycated hemoglobin was first used in routine clinical laboratories for diabetes monitoring around 1977; at that time methods displayed poor precision, there were no ...

Pitfalls in estimation of glycosylated hemoglobin: A rare hemoglobin variant—Hb Hope
Journal of Diabetology, 2021 Hemoglobin (Hb) Hope is a rare Hb variant which is clinically silent but causes spuriously high glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). We report a case of a 45-year-old gentleman, planned for elective total hip replacement, who presented with very high HbA1c with ...

The Steady-State Transport of Oxygen through Hemoglobin Solutions [PDF]
, 1966 The steady-state transport of oxygen through hemoglobin solutions was studied to identify the mechanism of the diffusion augmentation observed at low oxygen tensions. A novel technique employing a platinum-silver oxygen electrode was developed to measure

Hemoglobin Subunit-Subunit Affinity-Determinant of Hemoglobin Formation [PDF]
, 1989 Hemoglobin A₂ is often elevated in β-thalassemia and decreased in α-thalassemia. This might be due to hemoglobin subunit-subunit affinity variation. It has been inferred from the study of abnormal hemoglobins that the a subunits have higher affinity for ...

Determining the Refractive Index of Human Hemoglobin Solutions by Kramers-Kronig Relations with an Improved Absorption Model [PDF]
Applied Optics 55, 8951-8961 (2016), 2017 The real part of the refractive index (RI) of aqueous solutions of human hemoglobin is computed from their absorption spectra in the wavelength range $250\,{\rm nm} - 1100\,{\rm nm}$ using the Kramers-Kronig (KK) relations and the corresponding uncertainty analysis is provided.

Oxidation of Native and Modified Hemoglobin and Myoglobin by Sodium Nitrate. Effect of Inositol Hexaphosphate [PDF]
, 1981 Native and modified hemoglobin, myoglobin and a and phemoglobin subunits were oxidized by sodium nitrite at pH 6. The experiments were carried out under oxy and deoxy conditions with and without inositol hexaphosphate (IHP).
