[The effect of sodium cyanate-modified hemoglobin oxygen affinity on the heat resistance of rats].

Regression analysis of relationship between rat hemoglobin-oxygen affinity (HOA) and rectal temperature has shown a close positive correlation of these parameters. Heat resistance (HR) was examined in rats with HOA elevated by sodium cyanate in order to recognize the contribution of HOA to a process of body heat adaptation. Our data suggest that HR of treated rats was larger than in control animals. These results are discussed in relation with antioxidant type of the cyanate elevation in HOA.
