Atherogenesis May Involve the Prooxidant and Proinflammatory Effects of Ferryl Hemoglobin

Oxidized cell-free hemoglobin (Hb), including covalently cross-linked Hb multimers, is present in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Oxidation of Hb produces methemoglobin (Fe(3+)) and ferryl hemoglobin (Fe(4+) = O(2−)). Ferryl iron is unstable and can return to the Fe(3+) state by reacting with spec...
