Red cell deformability and adaptation in cholesterol-fed guinea pigs. 1978

H Rogausch

The flow of dietary cholesterol-loaded guinea-pig erythrocytes was observed in a glass capillary viscometer at wall shear stresses of 2 and 56 dynes/cm2. The viscosity of a suspension of red cells (H = 56 vol%) in a Ringer-albumin solution served as an estimate of the red cell deformation. It was found that dietary cholesterol did not significantly alter red cell deformability. The serum of cholesterol-fed animals showed higher sphering properties (possibly due to a higher concentration of lysolecithin) when incubated under the same conditions as the serum from control animals. When cholesterol-loaded red cells came into contact with the sphering agent lysolecithin, reduced flow properties were exhibited during prolonged contact, whereas erythrocytes from controls adapted to lysolecithin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008244 Lysophosphatidylcholines Derivatives of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINES obtained by their partial hydrolysis which removes one of the fatty acid moieties. Lysolecithin,Lysolecithins,Lysophosphatidylcholine
D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol

D006168 Guinea Pigs A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research. Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
