Increased adherence of sickle red blood cells (RBC) to endothelium is implicated as an initiating event of vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease. Although much is known about the humoral influences of this interaction, there has been little investigation regarding endothelial contributions. Endothel
## Abstract The administration of extracellular, hemoglobinβbased oxygen carriers often elicits an acute increase in blood pressure by vasoconstriction. This side effect is now recognized to be due to the depletion of nitric oxide (endothelialβderived relaxing factor) by the extravasuated hemoglobi
