The blood storage lesion involves morphological and biochemical changes of red blood
cells (RBCs) that occur during storage. These include conversion of the biconcave disc
morphology to a spherical one, decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration,
varied mean corpuscular volume, reduced integrity of the erythrocyte membrane with
formation of microparticles, and increased cell-free hemoglobin. We studied the extent that
older stored red blood cells scavenge nitric oxide (NO) faster than fresher stored red blood …
