Effect of RBC and laser irradiation on the levels of NO and NO-Hb in a buffered oxygen free saline solution. (A) Kinetics of NO levels upon addition of Hb and laser irradiation; (B) NO-Hb EPR spectrum; + and # indicate the features of 5- and 6-coordinated NO-Hb complexes. The magnitudes of corresponding peaks were used to estimate the amounts of both complexes; (C) NO-Hb concentration in solution before and after irradiation with a 40 mW He-Cd laser. * significantly different P < 0.01.
