Validation of Hypoxic Red Blood Cell Storage Procedure and Interrogation of its Vasoregulatory Effects

Description/Abstract:	Background: Red blood cells (RBCs), in addition to carrying oxygen, generate and export vasoregulatory mediators as a function of their metabolic context. S- nitrosothiol (SNO) is exported to effect hypoxic vasodilation, a fundamental vascular...
