Erythrocyte deformability improves blood flow in the microvessels and in large arteries at
high shear rate. The major determinants of RBC deformability include cell geometry, cell …

The main objective of the present work is to study the influence of cholesterol in
hyperglycemic subjects on deformability and shape parameters of erythrocytes. The …

Using several rheological techniques, we examined erythrocyte deformability in different
groups of diabetic subjects. The macrorheological techniques used for this evaluation were …

Significantly higher levels of erythrocyte membrane microviscosity (MV)[η̅: 5.22±0.17 (4.70–
5.92), mean±SD (range), poise, N= 67, P< 0.005] measured by fluorescence depolarization …

The flow properties of individual erythrocytes have been studied in glass micropipets 4 μ
internal diameter. The pressure gradient required to establish a standard oscillatory …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by varying or persistent
hyperglycemia either due to insufficient production of insulin by pancreas or improper …

The viscosity of blood at high rates of shear is unusually low compared to other suspensions
of similar concentration. The underlying mechanisms were studied by rotational viscometry …

Erythrocyte deformability was assessed in 40 diabetic patients, 24 insulin-dependent (IDD)
and 16 non-insulin-dependent (NIDD), by measuring the initial filtration flow rate of whole …

To measure erythrocyte deformability in vitro, we made transparent microchannels on a
crystal substrate as a capillary model. We observed axisymmetrically deformed erythrocytes …

The erythrocyte deformability of blood samples, of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with and
without microangiopathic complications such as nephropathy and retinopathy, is determined …
