The effect of oxidizing agents and diabetes mellitus on the human red blood cell membrane potential

Beneficial influence of dietary curcumin, capsaicin and garlic on erythrocyte integrity in high-fat fed rats

“…Impairment of Ca 2+ ,Mg 2+ -ATPase could lead to accumulation of intracellular calcium [42]. Inhibition of Ca 2+ -ATPase in human erythrocytes in t-butyl hydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress has been reported [43]. Probably, increased oxidative stress in high-fat fed rats might have contributed to the decreased Ca 2+ ,Mg 2+ -ATPase activity.…”

A dynamic and stationary rheological study of erythrocytes incubated in a glucose medium

“…These elevated levels of glucose can result in an enhanced osmotic fragility of red blood cells (RBCs), in membrane lipid peroxidation and in changed morphological properties [3,4].…”

Influence of tetrahydrocurcumin on erythrocyte membrane bound enzymes and antioxidant status in experimental type 2 diabetic rats

“…Epidemiological studies and clinical trials strongly support the notion that hyperglycaemia is the principal cause of complications. Erythrocyte membrane hyper polarization was found in diabetic cells as a result of constant oxidative stress that can be responsible for long term complications in diabetes (Augustyniak et al, 1996). Changes in membrane lipid composition and enzymatic properties of membrane bound enzymes are shown to occur in diabetes.…”
