Effects of salt-loading on erythrocyte and erythrocyte ghost deformabilities were measured by laser diffractometry using a flat cell and a helium-neon laser in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Salt-loading did not affect the deformability of erythrocytes in SHR and WKY, although a significantly reduced deformability was observed in salt-loaded SHR compared with values in control WKY and salt-loaded WKY (p less than 0.05, p less than 0.05, respectively). In contrast, salt-loading significantly reduced the deformability of erythrocyte ghosts in WKY and SHR (p less than 0.05, p less than 0.05, respectively). Our results suggest that salt-loading reduces erythrocyte membrane viscoelasticity in both WKY and SHR, and that the observed reduction of ghost deformability induced by salt-loading may influence the peripheral circulation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.
