• TITLE: Erythrocyte shape transformation in physiological regulation of blood viscosity

  AUTHORS: L. N. Katiukhin

  KEYWORDS: Erythrocyte; Deformability; Aggregation; Stress

  ABSTRACT: The study was carried out to evaluate deformable and aggregative erythrocyte properties in humans under normal and pathological states and in rats exposed to various stressors. A strong correlation between the erythrocyte rheological determinants, i.e. deformability index and aggregation rate, was found under pathological and stress-induced states. The physiological significance of this phenomenon is to maintain the native structure of blood flow.
