Raman spectroscopy has been shown to have the potential for providing oxygenated ability of erythrocytes. Raman
line at 1638 cm-1 has also been reported as one significant oxygenic indicator for erythrocytes. In this research, we
develop the Raman spectroscopic monitoring of the bioeffects of Nitroglycerin on hemoglobin oxygen saturation in a
single red blood cell (RBC). Nitroglycerin has been frequently used in the management of angina pectoris.
Nitroglycerin liberates nitric oxide (NO) to blood vessels. NO is an oxidizer that easily converts hemoglobin to
methemoglobin. The conversion may cause the decrease of oxygenated ability of erythrocytes. In this study, we
observed the oxidize state of erythrocytes caused by the over dosage of Nitroglycerin. When the dose of Nitroglycerin
exceeds 2x10-4 M, the oxygenic state of erythrocytes decreases significantly. The Raman spectroscopic results
demonstrate the observation of the bioeffects of Nitroglycerin on hemoglobin.
