It can thus be inferred that the interplay between inflammation and the undesirable effects of hyperglycaemia on the mechanical features of the erythrocytes could impact RDW values.
They were sacrificed next day by cervical dislocation and plasma, erythrocytes and tissue hemolysates were utilised for estimation of lipid peroxidation and various antioxidant activities.
PAH metabolism may also take place in nasal tissues, mammary glands, spleen, brain, hair follicles, erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes, gonads, placenta and uterus (Anderson et al., 1989).
Hematological analysis of blood of Rita rita, showed significant differences between total erythrocytes count, hemoglobin concentration and erythrocyte sedimentation rate of the two sexes.
The testing was prompted by genetic counseling of his mother, who carried a diagnosis of Class III (moderately deficient) G6PDH deficiency (69 mU/109 erythrocytes; reference interval, 118-144 mU/109 erythrocytes) (1).
Splenic immunologic and filtrative clearance functions are augmented in malaria, and the removal of both parasitized and uninfected erythrocytes is accelerated.
It is known that the relative content of cholesterol and phospholipids (with polyunsaturated fatty acids), which depends on blood lipid levels, is essential for maintaining the fluidity, deformability, stability, and functionality of erythrocytes [22].

However, no study has been carried out to evaluate the genotoxic, antigenotoxic and protective properties of the methanol extract of the plant's stem against the erythrocytes of albino mice.
Hypoxia causes disorders of blood gas transport function and very often leads to decreases in the efficiency of oxygen transport with the assistance of erythrocytes. In such cases, disorders of endothelial structure and function play a crucial role, whereas the role of erythrocytes and their oxygen-transporting capacity in the progress of peripheral vascular diseases still remains under investigated [3,11].
