[Denaturation of hemoglobin--the first stage of erythrocyte thermohemolysis].

Measurements were carried out of the rate constants of erythrocyte thermohemolysis and hemoglobin thermoaggregation in various animal species and also for the man under the action of hemoglobin-modifying factors (CO2, O2, ethanol). It is concluded from the obtained correlation dependences that hemoglobin thermodenaturation initiates erythrocyte thermohemolysis. The identity of the early stages of erythrocyte thermohemolysis and aging is suggested.
