Inhibition of osmotic permeabilty of caprine erythrocytes by mercuric chloride in osmotic fragility models

, 2018
Mercuric chloride interferes with erythrocyte membrane and can alter erythrocyte osmotic fragility. Saline and saccharide media have been used in erythrocyte osmotic fragility techniques.

Subchronic Exposure to Arsenic and Nickel Triggers Nitrosative Stress and Histological Alterations in the Rat Liver

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Ammonium removal by erythrocyte-bioreactors based on glutamate dehydrogenase from Proteus sp. jointly with porcine heart alanine aminotransferase

Scientific Reports, 2022
Excessive ammonium blood concentration causes many serious neurological complications. The medications currently used are not very effective. To remove ammonium from the blood, erythrocyte-bioreactors containing enzymes that processing ammonium have been

Elevated Hemoglobin A2: A Molecular Revisited, and Implications to β‐Thalassemia Screening

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
In Thailand, the Hb A2 cut‐off value for β‐thalassemia carrier has been changed from 4.0% to 3.6% since 2015. We examined the molecular basis of β‐thalassemia in a large cohort of Thai subjects with this change. The molecular basis of β‐thalassemia was updated, and a change in the Hb A2 cut‐off can alter this spectrum.

With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...

Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility in the Presence of Lead or Mercury

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1973
SummaryThe osmotic fragility of human erythrocytes was analyzed with a recording Fragilograph after incubation with known amounts of lead or mercury. Incubation with lead produced two populations of red cells, one osmotically fragile and the other osmotically resistant.
