“…These RR shifts provide some information about the oxygenation state, as well as the oxidation and spin states, of heme irons (Spiro and Strekas, 1974;Shelnutt et al, 1979;Wood et al, 2001). It was also reported that the oxy-and deoxy-Hb-specific RR shifts in aqueous solutions were applicable for measurement of oxygen saturation (SO 2 ) in erythrocytes interacted with magnetic nanoparticles in vitro (Santana et al, 2005;Soler et al, 2007) and in blood vessels running throughout the abdominal peritoneum of living mice by intravital Raman microscopic analyses (Torres Filho et al, 2005). Some other researchers reported Raman microscopic data on RR shifts at LoT of photodissociated carbon monooxy (CO)-Hb and deoxy-Hb (Ondrias et al, 1981(Ondrias et al, , 1983a.…”
