Aim. To compare the red blood cell (RBC) diffusional water permeability (Pd) in elderly
human subjects and mature subjects. Patients and methods. 58 apparently healthy subjects …

In the present paper, fundamental issues related to the mechanisms of human red blood
cells' physiological water exchange with the plasma (for the stationary conditions) have …

Arterial hypertension, including the elucidation of hypertension pathogenic mechanisms
involving elements in the composition of the blood, continues to represent a topical research …

NMR measurements of the diffusional permeability of the human adult red blood cell (RBC)
membrane to water (P d) and of the activation energy (E a, d) of the process furnished …

Erythrocytes have long been known to change volumes and shapes in response to different
salt concentrations. Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) was discovered in their membranes more than 20 …

An extensive programme of comparative nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of the
membrane diffusional permeability for water (Pd) and of the activation energy (Ea, d) of this …

The plasma membrane of animal cells constitutes a selectively permeable barrier, the
properties of which determine intracellular solute composition (eg, Stein 1990) …

The process of water transport across biological membranes is of considerable importance
for many physiological processes, ranging from regulation of cell volume to the protection of …

The characteristics of water diffusional permeability (P) of human red blood cells were
studied on isolated erythrocytes by a doping nuclear magnetic resonance technique. In …
