Abstract
We studied changes in rat hemoglobin isoforms during acute adaptation to various hypoxic conditions. Erythrocytes were heterogeneous in the content of various hemoglobin isoforms. Changes in the hemoglobin profile during hypoxia are related to variations in the ratio between populations of erythrocytes differing in the content of individual hemoglobin isoforms.
