The life span of the human red blood cell.
Many different methods have been used to estimate the average life time of the human red blood cell. The different attempts have yielded estimates which range from 5 to 200 days. Estimates have been made by inducing polycythemia and noting the time required for the return to the normal red cell count; this yielded values of 18 to 30 days (1). Determinations of the amount of iron or pigment excr...
متن کاملRed blood cell life span in the ovine fetus.
Red cell life span within the fetal circulation has not been reported, although erythrocyte life span has been studied in the adult and newborn. The present study quantified red cell life span in 12 chronically catheterized fetal sheep at 97-136 days gestation (term = 150 days) with the use of autologous red cells labeled with [(14)C]cyanate. Cyanate forms a permanent covalent bond with hemoglo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Erythropoietin on Rat’s Red Blood Cell Indices in Simulated Microgravity (Experimental Study)
Purpose: Microgravity causes major changes in various systems of the body in space, such as shift in cerebrospinal fluid, decreased red blood cells count, and electrolyte loss. These complications are very important in space and we should find new approaches to prevent the side effects of microgravity in astronauts. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 21 adult ma...
متن کاملRed cell life span in the turtle and toad
ALTLAND, PAUL D., AND KIRKLAND C. BRACE. Red cell Zije span in the turfle and toad. Am. J. Physiol. 203(6) : I 188-1 I go. 1962. -Estimates of the mean life span of the red blood cells of box turtles and South American giant toads were made with glycine-2-C . l4 The mean life span of the turtle red cells probably lies between 600 and 800 days and that of the toad between 700 and 1,400 days. The...
متن کاملRegulation of red cell life-span, erythropoiesis, senescence, and clearance
The number of red blood cells (RBCs) and their properties are optimized by nature for most efficient oxygen delivery from the lungs to hypoxic periphery. Changes in metabolic requirements or environmental oxygen availability quickly translate to modulation of the RBC number, blood rheology, oxygen affinity of hemoglobin, and even of vascular tone. Inability to match the changes in oxygen demand...
