Red blood cell oxidative stress impairs oxygen delivery and induces red blood cell aging
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) need to deform and squeeze through narrow capillaries. Decreased deformability of RBCs is, therefore, one of the factors that can contribute to the elimination of aged or damaged RBCs from the circulation. This process can also cause impaired oxygen delivery, which contributes to the pathology of a number of diseases. Studies from our laboratory have shown that oxidative ...
متن کاملRed blood cell metabolism, preservation, and oxygen delivery
A human red cell, mature and released from the bone marrow, lacks a nucleus and mitochondria. It has a life span of 120 days, after which it is removed from the circulation in the natural course of aging. It picks up oxygen in a third of a second transit of the alveolar capillary and delivers oxygen through capillaries with a smaller diameter than its own. It can neither use oxygen for the extr...
متن کاملEffect of Thyroid Dysfunctions on Blood Cell Count and Red Blood Cell Indice
Abstract Background Thyroid hormones have a crucial role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid dysfunction induces different effects on blood cells such as anemia, erythrocytosis leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and in rare cases causes’ pancytopenia. It also alter RBC indices include MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW. Thus this study attempted to evaluate effect of hypo & hyperthyroi...
متن کاملAn Overview on: The Red Blood Cell Histogram
The RBC histogram is an integral part of automated hematology analysis and is now routinely available on all automated cell counters. This histogram and other associated complete blood count (CBC) parameters have been found abnormal in various hematological conditions and may provide major clues in the diagnosis and management of significant red cell disorders. In addition, it is frequently use...
متن کاملRed blood cell "aggregability".
It is well understood that the extent of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is determined by both plasmatic and cellular factors [10]. It is also clear that alterations of plasmatic and cellular factors may be related to separate disease processes [1]. For example, plasma composition may change (e.g., fibrinogen concentration increase) due to an acute phase response, thereby altering RBC aggregat...
