Plasmodium falciparum ligand binding to erythrocytes induce alterations in deformability essential for invasion [PDF]

, 2017
The most lethal form of malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. These parasites invade erythrocytes, a complex process involving multiple ligand-receptor interactions.

Erythrocytes and Vascular Function: Oxygen and Nitric Oxide

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Erythrocytes regulate vascular function through the modulation of oxygen delivery and the scavenging and generation of nitric oxide (NO). First, hemoglobin inside the red blood cell binds oxygen in the lungs and delivers it to tissues throughout the body

ABO blood groups influence macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Erythrocyte polymorphisms associated with a survival advantage to Plasmodium falciparum infection have undergone positive selection. There is a predominance of blood group O in malaria-endemic regions, and several lines of evidence suggest that ABO blood

Physical and chemical processes and the morphofunctional characteristics of human erythrocytes in hyperglycaemia [PDF]

, 2017
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 ...

Functional consequences of sphingomyelinase-induced changes in erythrocyte membrane structure. [PDF]

, 2012
Inflammation enhances the secretion of sphingomyelinases (SMases). SMases catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide.

Role of membrane lipids in the regulation of erythrocytic oxygen-transport function in cardiovascular diseases [PDF]

, 2016
The composition and condition of membrane lipids, the morphology of erythrocytes, and hemoglobin distribution were explored with the help of laser interference microscopy (LIM) and Raman spectroscopy.

Impact of ApoE Polymorphism and Physical Activity on Plasma Antioxidant Capability and Erythrocyte Membranes

Antioxidants, 2019
The allele epsilon 4 (ε4) of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). ApoE protein plays a pivotal role in the synthesis and metabolism of amyloid beta (Aβ), the major component of the extracellular ...
