Hyperinsulinemia is a determinant of membrane fluidity of erythrocytes in essential hypertension.
In the present study, to determine a possible role of insulin in the regulation of membrane functions, we have examined the relationship between plasma insulin level and membrane fluidity of erythrocytes in patients with essential hypertension and normotensive subjects. Membrane fluidity of erythrocytes obtained from hypertensive and normotensive subjects were evaluated by means of an electron ...
متن کاملCa2+ binding and membrane fluidity in essential and renal hypertension.
1. Ca2+ -binding ability and membrane structure of red blood cells of patients with essential and renal hypertension were studied. 2. Ca2+ -binding ability of the erythrocyte membrane of patients with essential hypertension was found to be reduced by 30% compared with that of normotensive controls. 3. The rate of lateral diffusion of pyrene in the erythrocyte membrane of patients with essential...
متن کاملHyperinsulinemia, intracellular calcium, and membrane function in essential hypertension.
Hyperinsulinemia, Intracellular Calcium, and Membrane Function in Essential Hypertension We read with interest comments by Dr. Sela et al dealing with a possible link between intracellular calcium content of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and plasma insulin level in patients with essential hypertension. The results of their presented study demonstrated that PMN in essential hypertension sho...

his study was conducted to investigate the values of the order parameter (S) and correlation time (τc) in electron spin resonance spectra for 5-DS(doxylstearic acid) and 16-DS (doxyl-stearic acid) in old normal controls and in patients with type 2 diabetes and stroke in order to assess any association between age-related disorders and membrane fluidity. Materials and Methods: We measured the me...

Previous spin-label and electromyographic experiments with rats fed 20,25-diazacholesterol, an inhibitor of the biosynthet ic conversion of desmostero[ to cholesterol, demonstrated an increased e ry th rocy te membrane f luidi ty and myotonia, a prolonged muscle contraction upon stimulation. The current studies with rats showed normal erythrocyte f luidi ty in animals fed 20,25-diazacholesterol...
