Abstract
Since Scholander (1960) and Wittenberg (1959) found that the diffusion of oxygen in aqueous solution is facilitated in the presence of hemoglobin, its dynamic behavior has been investigated extensively by many researchers (Hemmingsen and Scholander, 1960; Hemmingsen, 1962; Wittenberg, 1966; Kutchai and Staub, 1969; Spaan, Kreuzer, and Wely, 1980). The phenomena were observed not only in the steady state of oxygen transport but also in the transient state to equilibrium. Scholander and Wittenberg wetted a Millipore membrane with hemoglobin solution and estimated the membrane permeability to oxygen using a gas analysis technique. On the other hand, Spaan et al. measured the oxygenation rate of hemoglobin by spectrophotometry when oxygen was flushed onto the surface of the thin-layered hemoglobin solution. In both cases, the enhanced transport of oxygen by hemoglobin was observed.
