Bohr Effect and Cells O2 Levels: Healthy vs. Sick People

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the key player in O2 transport due to 1) vasodilation and 2) the the Bohr effect (or the Bohr law). The Bohr effect explains oxygen release in capillaries or why red blood cells unload oxygen in tissues. The Bohr effect was first described in 1904 by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr [...]
