An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a sample of your blood. The blood oxygen measurement shows how well your lungs move oxygen from the air into your blood when you breathe in. The carbon dioxide measurement shows how well your lungs remove carbon dioxide from your blood when you breathe out.

Indicadores
A heat-labile and water-soluble essential vitamin, belonging to the vitamin B family, with antioxidant, erythropoietic, mood modulating, and glucose-regulating activities. Thiamine reacts with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form an active coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is necessary for the actions of pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate in carbohydrate metabolism and for the actions of transketolase, an enzyme that plays an important role in the pentose phosphate pathway. Thiamine plays a key role in intracellular glucose metabolism and may inhibit the action of glucose and insulin on arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. Thiamine may also protect against lead toxicity by inhibiting lead-induced lipid peroxidation.
