Addition of untreated or glutaraldehyde-fixed human erythrocytes decreased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-mediated acute edematous injury in isolated rat lungs, H2O2-induced damage to cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells, and H2O2-dependent oxidation of reduced cytochrome C in vitro. The results suggest that intact erythrocytes can scavenge H2O2, and as a result, protect the lung and possibly other tissues from damage.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
