Hemolysis is a primary ATP-release mechanism in human erythrocytes.
The hypothesis that regulated ATP release from red blood cells (RBCs) contributes to nitric oxide-dependent control of local blood flow has sparked much interest in underlying release mechanisms. Several stimuli, including shear stress and hypoxia, have been found to induce significant RBC ATP release attributed to activation of ATP-conducting channels. In the present study, we first evaluated ...
متن کاملPreferential Hemolysis of Immature Erythrocytes
The findings indicate that experimental iron deficiency anemia is associated with hemolysis of red cells of various ages, but with preferential destruction of the youngest cells. Degradation of hemoglobin from reticulocytes is sufficient to account for a major fraction of the increase in erythropoietic bilirubin production found in this disorder, as has also been shown for physiologically regul...
متن کاملDelayed Hemolysis of Human Erythrocytes in Solutions of Glucose
There has been described a type of hemolysis which occurs under certain defined conditions when erythrocytes are suspended in glucose solution. It consists of a prolytic phase lasting about an hour, followed by a hemolytic phase lasting about 2 hours. The physical factors controlling this delayed hemolysis have been investigated. The system is especially sensitive to changes of pH and of temper...
متن کاملHemolysis of human erythrocytes is a new bioactivity of gangliosides
Using sheep erythrocytes and liposomes, an inhibitory effect of gangliosides has been shown on the activation of the alternative pathway of complement. However, in studies using human erythrocytes, we found that gangliosides had hemolytic activity that was possibly mediated through activation of the alternative pathway. Pretreatment of human erythrocytes obtained from healthy volunteers or paro...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Change in Resistance of Erythrocytes to Hypotonic Salt Solutions
Ashby's work on the effects of KCl and NaCl on the resistance to hypotonic hemolysis of K(*)-rich and K(*)-poor erythrocytes has been repeated with great attention to purity of materials and refinement of technique. The results fail to agree with those of Ashby. 1. KCl produces greater loss in resistance to hypotonic hemolysis than does NaCl, irrespective of the species of the animal from which...
