Relationship between red blood cell lifespan and endogenous carbon monoxide in the common bottlenose dolphin and beluga ...
Certain deep-diving marine mammals (i.e., northern elephant seal ( Mirounga angustirosis ), Weddell seal ( Leptonychotes weddellii )) have blood carbon monoxide (CO) levels that are comparable to those of chronic cigarette smokers. Most CO produced in humans is a by-product of heme degradation, whic...
