Beneficial Effect of Quercetin on Erythrocyte Properties in Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by tissue oxidative damage and impaired microcirculation, as well as worsened erythrocyte properties. Measurements of erythrocyte deformability together with determination of nitric oxide (NO) production and osmotic ...

Aging in Normotensive and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Focus on Erythrocyte Properties
Erythrocyte deformability, crucial for oxygen delivery to tissues, plays an important role in the etiology of various diseases. As the factor maintaining the erythrocyte deformability, nitric oxide (NO) has been identified.

Functional consequences of sphingomyelinase-induced changes in erythrocyte membrane structure. [PDF]
Inflammation enhances the secretion of sphingomyelinases (SMases). SMases catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide.
