Heinz body formation in calf erythrocytes. 1978

G P Lynch, and D F Smith, and R C Cope, and M Fisher

Heinz body formation was induced in calf erythrocytes by a daily dose of 8 mg phenylhydrazine/kg body weight. Body weights and feed intakes were not affected, the glutathione content of erythrocytes was reduced, but the hemolysis rate of erythrocytes was not changed. Morphological changes in erythrocytes were shown by light and high resolution scanning microscopy. The appearance of Heinz bodies may have value as an indicator of oxidative stress under conditions such as copper toxicity or deficiency of selenium-vitamin E.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
