Atorvastatin Induced Erythrocytes Membrane Blebbing [PDF]
Atorvastatin, an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzymeA reductase, is usually used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Besides its pharmacological and side actions, its toxic effects on human nucleus devoid of erythrocytes are still unknown. Eryptosis is an alternative term used for suicidal erythrocyte death.

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

Biomechanical and biochemical investigation of erythrocytes in late stage human leptospirosis [PDF]
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira, which can cause lipid changes in the erythrocyte membrane. Optical tweezers were used to characterize rheological changes in erythrocytes from patients with leptospirosis in ...

Erythroid anion transporter assembly is mediated by a developmentally regulated recruitment onto a preassembled membrane cytoskeleton [PDF]
Analysis of the expression and assembly of the anion transporter by metabolic pulse-chase and steady-state protein and RNA measurements reveals that the extent of association of band 3 with the membrane cytoskeleton varies during chicken embryonic ...

Acetylcholinesterase in the Erythrocyte Membrane
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) in erythrocytes is one of the typical extraneural AchEs. Its activity is high in human erythrocytes. It has been known that the enzyme is present only in the membrane in erythrocytes and that it is localized on the outer side of the membrane.

Physical and chemical processes and the morphofunctional characteristics of human erythrocytes in hyperglycaemia [PDF]
Background: This study examines the effect of graduated hyperglycaemia on the state and oxygen-binding ability of hemoglobin, the correlation of phospholipid fractions and their metabolites in the membrane, the activity of proteolytic enzymes and the ...
