Abstract
Abstract The properties of haemoglobin oxygen dissociation curves and the Bohr effect have, been studied in various poikiloterms animals living in different ecological conditions. The position of the curve and the direction and the intensity of the Bohr effect are perfectly correlated with the ecological habit of the organism under examination. Both these parameters are regulated by cofactors modifiyng the properties of the haemoglobin. An increase in the Bohr effect, probably with evolutionary adaptive value has been found in the indian peruvian population living from generation at high altitude. Also in this case the increase in Bohr effect is due to some factor presente in the red cell and different by the organic phosphates.
