Methane-induced haemolysis of human erythrocytes

Methane-induced haemolysis of human erythrocytes.

Human erythrocytes were exposed to high concentrations of methane and nitrogen through the application of elevated partial pressures of these gas molecules. Cell leakage (haemolysis) was measured for cells exposed to these gases under a wide range of experimental conditions. Application of methane produces haemolysis at pressures far below the hydrostatic pressures known to disrupt membrane or ...

Protective Effect of γ-Irradiation Against Hypochlorous Acid-Induced Haemolysis in Human Erythrocytes.

Radiations may trigger protective response within a threshold of doses applied. Exposures above an upper threshold are generally detrimental, while exposures below a lower threshold may or may not increase risks for health. We recently reported that a cellular protective response occurs in interventional cardiologists to counteract the oxidative damage caused by radiation. Here, we demonstrated...

Effect of carboxymethylated pyridoindoles on free radical-induced haemolysis of rat erythrocytes in vitro.

Recently novel carboxymethylated pyridoindoles, analogues of the efficient chain-breaking antioxidant stobadine, have been designed, synthesised and characterised as bifunctional compounds with joint antioxidant/aldose reductase inhibitory activities with the potential of preventing diabetic complications. The critical property for the efficacy of the novel aldose reductase inhibitors in vivo i...

Vitamin Antioxidants May Prevent Drug- Induced Haemolysis of G6pd–deficient Erythrocytes

suppression by albumin . by pentachlorophenol and its Haemolysis of human erythrocytes

Pentachlorophenol (PCP), a potent and inexpensive biocide, has been used widely, especially for wood preservation. Because of its extensive use, there is concern about the possible health hazards caused by PCP. Cases of severe PCP intoxication have been described, some fatal. At least one case of haemolytic anaemia associated with PCP intoxication has been found' but little is known about the e...
