The Effects of the Heme Oxygenase-1/Carbon Monoxide System on Cardiorespiratory Control in Fish

Endogenously produced carbon monoxide (CO) is an important gaseous signalling molecule which regulates a variety of cardiorespiratory functions. CO is produced in cells by the heme oxygenase (HO) family of proteins by the breakdown of heme into equimolar amounts of CO, bilirubin and Fe2+. My thesis...
