The water exchange lifetime (τ i) through red blood cell (RBC) membranes can be measured
by analyzing the water protons bi-exponential T 1 and T 2 curves when RBCs are …

A pulse NMR technique employing low extracellular Mn 2+ concentrations has been used in
following the effect of variations in extracellular osmolality on water transport through the …

A critical evaluation has been performed of a NMR technique for the investigation of the
water exchange time through erythrocyte membranes, based on doping with a paramagnetic …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the mechanism of water exchange through the
erythrocyte membrane. One of the main functions of the plasma membranes of living cells …

The water permeability of human red blood cell (RBC) membrane has been monitored by a
doping nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique on intact cells and resealed ghosts …

Water exchange between human red blood cells and the plasma phase was measured by
water proton nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation in the presence of low concentrations …

Blood is a physiological substance with multiple water compartments, which contain water-
binding proteins such as hemoglobin in erythrocytes and albumin in plasma. Knowing the …

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 …

A simple, precise, and rapid pulse nuclear magnetic resonance technique for measuring the
rate of water exchange across the erythrocyte membrane is presented. The technique is …

We have used the nuclear magnetic relaxation of water protons to measure the diffusional
permeability (P w) of human red blood cells to water as a function of concentration of …
