Loading erythrocytes with Primaquine (PQ) is advantageous. However, PQ produces damage to erythrocytes through free radicals production. Statins have antioxidant action and are involved in protective effect against situation of oxidative stress. Thus the protective effect of pravastatin (PS) against PQ induced oxidative damage to human erythrocytes was investigated in the current studies upon l...

Loss-of-function mutations in human adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) lead to multiple colonic adenomatous polyps eventually resulting in colonic carcinoma. Similarly, heterozygous mice carrying defective APC (apc(Min/+)) suffer from intestinal tumours. The animals further suffer from anaemia, which in theory could result from accelerated eryptosis, a suicidal erythrocyte death triggered by enha...

Soybean agglutinin (SBA) represents the anti-nutritional molecule in soybean. This agglutinates erythrocytes of several animal species. The specific binding SBA to glycoprotein c...

Erythrocyte survival studies of complement-coated radiolabeled erythrocytes have shown rapid removal of these cells from the peripheral blood with a return of these cells into the circulation within a few hours. We studied complement-coated human erythrocytes and measured surface charge and deformability, two parameters believed to be important in erythrocyte survival. Erythrocytes were coated...

During intraerythrocytic growth of Plasmodium falciparum, several parasite proteins are transported from the parasite to the erythrocyte membrane, where they bind to membrane skeletal proteins. Mature-parasite-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (MESA) has previously been shown to associate with host erythrocyte membrane skeletal protein 4.1. Using a spontaneous mutant of P falciparum that has...

The article presents the results of treatment 157 patients with generalized periodontitis depending on blood type. In was determined: number erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, neutrophils, leukocyte intoxication index, fibrinogen. After treatment, analysis cell composition showed that 1 year after periodontitis, carriers 0 (I) and A (II) type increased erythrocytes in – 1.2 times. At same tim...

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of adding fermented ginger ( Zingiber officinale ) in feed blood profile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus ). used a completely randomized design method with 4 treatments and each treatment had replications. Treatment A was control (without addition ginger), B 5 mL/100 g feed, C 7.5 D 10 mL/ 100 feed. The results Analysis Variance (ANOVA) showed that...

Clostridium perfringens theta-toxin was shown to lyse target erythrocytes by a colloid-osmotic mechanism. Analysis showed the onset of lysis of erythrocytes by theta-toxin could be temporarily stabilized with 0.3 M sucrose. Flow cytometry analysis of the size distribution of theta-toxin-treated erythrocytes showed swelling of the erythrocytes prior to lysis.
