Definitions
methemoglobin
Noun
A form of hemoglobin in which the iron in the heme group is in the ferric (Fe3+) state, not the ferrous (Fe2+) state of normal hemoglobin, which is unable to bind oxygen effectively.
The presence of methemoglobin in the blood can lead to a condition known as methemoglobinemia, which reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen.
