The measurement of osmotic fragility of erythrocytes has been applied to the diagnosis of hemolytic diseases, studies of membrane permeability and alternations leading to destruction of erythrocytes. Almost 30 years have gone by since the coil planet centrifuge system was devised for measuring the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes. Many excellent studies by means of this centrifuge system have been published. Prominent investigations are reviewed as follows: in relation to the osmotic fragility, various liver diseases, angina pectoris, trapping the aged erythrocytes, tumor, lactic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, free cholesterol, exercise and lead exposure level were examined.

D009996 Osmotic Fragility RED BLOOD CELL sensitivity to change in OSMOTIC PRESSURE. When exposed to a hypotonic concentration of sodium in a solution, red cells take in more water, swell until the capacity of the cell membrane is exceeded, and burst. Saline Fragility,Fragility, Osmotic,Fragility, Saline
D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects. (From Websters, 10th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
D004905 Erythrocyte Aging The senescence of RED BLOOD CELLS. Lacking the organelles that make protein synthesis possible, the mature erythrocyte is incapable of self-repair, reproduction, and carrying out certain functions performed by other cells. This limits the average life span of an erythrocyte to 120 days. Erythrocyte Survival,Aging, Erythrocyte,Survival, Erythrocyte
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION. Angor Pectoris,Stenocardia,Stenocardias
