Decreased fluidity of red cell membrane lipids in abetalipoproteinemia.
Acanthocytic red cells in patients with abetalipoproteinemia are morphologically similar to the red cells in spur cell anemia. Fluidity of membrane lipids is decreased in spur cells due to their excess cholesterol content. Acanthocyte membranes have an increased content of sphingomyelin and a decreased content of lecithin. To assess the effect of this abnormality of acanthocyte membrane lipid c...
متن کاملDecreased Membrane Fluidity During Differentiation of Human
The human promyelocytic leukemia cell line. HL-60. undergoes differentiation in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). phorbol esters, and other agents. Studies were undertaken to determine whether agents that promote differentiation influence membrane fluidity and to assess whether changes in membrane fluidity occur during the process of differentiation. Cells were grown in the presence of...
متن کاملEffect of low dose X-ray on membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells
Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....
متن کاملEffects on cell adhesion and membrane fluidity of changes in plasmalemmal lipids in mouse L929 cells.
It has recently been shown that the lipid composition of the plasmalemma may be altered by taking advantage of the acyltransferase system to incorporate selected fatty acids into phosphatidyl lipids of the plasmalemma. Such lipid alterations have been shown to effect changes in cell adhesion in chick neural retina cells. Based on the fluid-mosaic model, it has been suggested that such changee i...
متن کاملThe Influences of Lipids, Membrane Fluidity, and Insulin
The relation between serum lipids, membrane fluidity, insulin, and the activity of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger was investigated in human lymphocytes from 83 subjects. Subjects had a wide range of serum lipids and no concurrent disease. Lymphocyte membrane anisotropy (inversely related to membrane fluidity) was measured with a fluorescence polarization method. Sodium-hydrogen exchange maximal ...
