A Modified Carbon Monoxide Breath Test for Measuring Erythrocyte Lifespan in Small Animals

This study was to develop a CO breath test for RBC lifespan estimation of small animals. The ribavirin induced hemolysis rabbit models were placed individually in a closed rebreath cage and air samples were collected for measurement of CO concentration. RBC lifespan was calculated from accumulated C...
