The exposure of red blood cells (RBC) to some hormones (epinephrine, insulin and
glucagon) and agonists of α-and β-adrenergic receptors (phenylephrine, clonidine and …

This study was designed to investigate whether the red cell aggregation depends on its
initial level under drug therapy or cell incubation with bioactive chemical compounds. Sixty …

There are evidences that red blood cell (RBC) deformation and aggregation change under
their incubation with catecholamines and it is connected with activation of intracellular …

Exposure of red blood cells (RBCs) to catecholamines (epinephrine, phenylephrine, an
agonist of α 1-adrenergic receptors, clonidine, an agonist of α 2-adrenergic receptors and …

This study was designed to investigate the dependency of the red blood cell deformability
upon activation of extra-and intracellular signaling pathways. Exposures of red blood cells …

To assess the physiological role of intracellular Ca 2+ in the changes of microrheological
red blood cell (RBC) properties (RBC deformability and aggregation), we employed several …

The influence of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation on blood flow in vivo has been under
debate since early 1900's, yet a full understanding has still has not been reached. Enhanced …

The reversible aggregation of human red blood cells (RBC) continues to be of interest in the
field of hemorheology [1-12], in that RBC aggregation is a major determinant of the in vitro …

Under physiological conditions, red blood cells (RBCs) form aggregates that allow blood
flow in all the circulatory system. RBC aggregation is the result of local flow shear stress …

The development of hypertension is accompanied by changes in the rheological properties
of blood, particularly by increased red blood cell (RBC) aggregation leading to further …
