Background Hypercapnia is abnormally high arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 can affect redox signaling mechanisms, leading to production of oxidative derivatives. Thiol is formed by attaching a sulfhydryl group to a carbon atom. Under oxidative stress, it forms covalent bonds called thiol disulphide bonds. Serum albumin is modi...
