A proposed method for assessing plasma hypertonicity in vivo

Abstract: Indices of plasma hypertonicity, elevated plasma concentrations of solutes that draw fluid out of cells by osmosis, are needed to pursue hypertonicity as a possible risk factor for obesity and chronic disease. This paper proposes a new index that may be more sensitive to mild hypertonicity in vivo at a point in time than traditional measures. The index compares mean corpuscular volume (MCV) estimates from diluted (in solution by automated cell counter) and nondiluted blood (calculated from manual hematocrit, M… Show more

“…It was observed that hematological parameters of control rats were normal. The decrease noticed in hematological parameters of the diabetic rats as it was shown in Tables 3a and 3b especially after administration of STZ is in agreement with a study that called it an indication of abnormal hemoglobin synthesis [32], failure of blood osmoregulation, and plasma osmolarity were also reported by Stookey et al (2007). More improvement in hematological parameters were noticed in rats treated with insulin and gliclazide which are slightly increase compared with rats in diabetic group as shown in Tables 3a and 3b which are consistence with the previous study that Short-term administration of gliclazide to patients with T2DM lowers the adhesion of diabetic monocytes, the oxidized low-density lipoprotein and glycated albumin-induced monocyte adhesion to ECs (endothelial cells), known to be a critical step in the atherosclerotic process [33].…”

“…The MCH, MCHC and HGB values in diabetic group rats showed significant decrease in accordance with prior hematological studies reporting anemia as a pathophysiological complication of diabetes mellitus (72). This reduction is probably because of blood osmoregulation defect and abnormal synthesis of hemoglobin (HGB) (73). HCT was not significantly changed in diabetic rats in comparison to normal rats (p>0.05).…”

“…In daily life, overnight water restriction, solute intake at meals, and insensible (via skin and lungs) and obligatory (via urine) water loss routinely create osmotic stress that draws water out of cells [1821]. In free-living children aged 9–11y, hyperosmotic cell shrinkage is prevalent [22] and associated with not drinking water [22].…”
