Biochemical and proteomic examination of the effect of STIF on oxygen transport function in red blood cells. (A) Peripheral blood smear by Wright-Giemsa stain. (B) Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) test (n = 31). (C) Red cell distribution width (RDW) test (n = 31). (D) Plasma free hemoglobin (PfHb) measured by ELISA (n = 31). (E) 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentration of peripheral red blood cells measured by ELISA (n = 31). (F) Oxygen saturation determined by a finger clip blood oxygen analyzer (n = 23). (G) GSEA on oxygen transport
