Influence of dietary protein on the properties of the red cell membrane in intact and splenectomized rats.
The possibility that there is some common factor in protein deprivation and splenectomy affecting the properties of red cells was examined by measuring the lipid contents of the plasma and red cells, the surgace area and spherical index of red cells, and the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity of the plasma in intact and splenectomized rats on diets with various levels of prote...
متن کاملDetermination of hemolysis, osmotic fragility and fluorescence anisotropy on irradiated red blood cells as a function of kV of medical diagnostic X-rays
Background: People occasionally undergo medical diagnostic X-ray examinations and expose their red blood cells to radiation. Radiation that is generated from medical diagnostic X-ray machines is widely used in medical diagnoses. One of the important parameters is kilo-voltage (kV) that is applied across the X-ray tube in medical diagnostic X-ray machines. Kilo-voltage influences the radiation d...
متن کاملPhysical properties of red cells as related to effects in vivo. II. Effect of thermal treatment on rigidity of red cells, stroma and the sickle cell.
I T HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED by previous observations”2 that heating normal human red blood cells increases their osmotic and mechanical fragiities, and results in their sequestration in the spleen37 and liver.8 Human erythrocytes undergo budding, and the heated red cells subdivide into fragments having a decreased ratio of surface volume and increased osmotic fragility.’ Kimber and Lander8 have sh...
متن کاملMeasurement of erythrocyte volumes in splenectomized horses and sham-operated horses at rest and during maximal exercise.
Erythrocyte volumes of thoroughbred horses were measured. The volumes of splenectomized horses and sham-operated horses 2 hr after injection of 50Cr-tagged erythrocytes (at rest) and during maximal exercise were measured using the non-radioactive isotope 50Cr. Because splenic erythrocytes are released into circulation during exercise, it was estimated that the erythrocyte volumes of the sham-op...
متن کاملFrequency of Limb Injuries Between Thoroughbred and Arabian Horses
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between race horse breed and the frequency of limb injuries through the time of training and racing. The study population consisted of 4042 Thoroughbred and 2553 Arabian horses raced at Warsaw race Track, from 2000 to 2008. Among these horses, 94 Thoroughbreds and 32 Arabians had different limb injuries. Based on the achieved results, it is possi...
