Life span of the marmot erythrocyte.

Relationship between GHb concentration and erythrocyte survival determined from breath carbon monoxide concentration.

OBJECTIVE Subjects with decreased erythrocyte survival have an unusually low GHb percentage. The goal of this study was to determine whether hyperglycemia, as reflected by GHb percentage, is associated with decreased erythrocyte survival. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Erythrocyte survival was quantitated in 23 subjects with type 2 diabetes, and these values were correlated with the subjects' GH...

Prevalence of Anti-Erythrocyte Alloantibodies and Relevant Factors among the Patients with Thalassemia Major in Kermanshah, Iran

Background The major treatment for thalassemia is a transfusion. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of erythrocyte alloantibodies and the relevant factors among the patients with thalassemia major in Kermanshah city, Iran. ...

Postsplenectomy blood values, marrow cytology, erythrocyte life-span, and sequestration in mice

ANOSA, VICTOR 0. Postsplenectomy blood values, marrow cytology, erythrocyte life-span, and sequestration in mice. Am. J. Physiol. 231(4): 1254-1257. 1976. -Studies in mice indicated that splenectomy influenced neither the erythrocyte and leukocyte total and differential values nor the erythrocyte survival. The right femoral marrow erythrocyte and nucleated cell counts were also not altered by s...

Studies of radioiron utilization and erythrocyte life span in rats following thermal injury.

Stimulation of erythrocyte phosphatidylserine exposure by lead ions.

Pb+ intoxication causes anemia that is partially due to a decreased life span of circulating erythrocytes. As shown recently, a Ca(2+)-sensitive erythrocyte scramblase is activated by osmotic shock, oxidative stress, and/or energy depletion, leading to exposure of phosphatidylserine at the erythrocyte surface. Because macrophages are equipped with phosphatidylserine receptors, they bind, engulf...
