We studied the effect of spectrin denaturation at 49.5° C (TA) on the dielectric relaxations
and related changes in the complex impedance, Z*, complex capacitance, C*, and dielectric …

Thermal dielectroscopy was used to study the spectrin-based sub-membrane skeleton (MS)
and its attachment to the lipid bilayer of human erythrocyte membrane. At the spectrin …

In this study we heated insoluble residues, obtained after Triton-X-100 (0.1 v/v%) extraction
of erythrocyte ghost membranes (EGMs). Specific heat capacity, electric capacitance and …

Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is a phenomenon that is commonly found in many
pathological disease states, namely stroke, myocardial infarction, thermal burn injury …

The shape and mechanical properties of mammalian erythrocytes depend on the
conformational flexibility of their submembrane spectrin network. By contrast, avian …

Abstract Red Blood Cell (RBC) aggregation is an important hemorheological phenomenon
especially in microcirculation. In healthy individuals, RBCs are known to aggregate and …

Hypertonicity-induced alteration of the spectrin network under the erythrocyte membrane
(EM) has been proposed as the cause of hypertonic cryohemolysis, however, the exact …

Diabetes damages tissues mainly through non-enzymatic glycosylation and free radical
oxidation of cellular constituents. This study was designed to determine the combined effect …

This study concentrates on the effect of mild metabolic disorder (MMD) in fructose-fed rats on
the submembrane skeleton MS of their erythrocytes relying on the relationship between …

Dielectic spectroscopy of heated suspensions, containing either human erythrocytes or
resealed erythrocyte ghost membranes, assays the state of sub-membrane spectrin-actin …
