Published: September 1998

The effect of osmotic protectors (sucrose and polyethylene glycols) and of a decrease in the detergent concentration at different points of hemolysis of human erythrocytes by sodium dodecyl sulphate on the shape of kinetic curves of hemolysis were studied. It is shown that slow detergent-induced hemolysis follows the colloid-osmotic mechanisms. Evidence is provided that rapid hemolysis by sodium dodecyl sulphate is caused by opening of large pores sufficient for the release of hemoglobin molecules rather than by the colloid-osmotic mechanism, and that the kinetics of hemolysis is mainly determined by time dependence of the opening probability of these pores.

Muscle from turkeys is more sensitive to lipid oxidation during post mortem storage compared with that of chicken and duck which may involve increased lysis of turkey erythrocytes that releases hemoglobin oxidant. Three separate experiments were conducted to study characteristics of chicken, duck, and turkey erythrocytes in which dietary tocopherols were standardized. In Experiment I, tocopherol, fatty acid composition, and lipid oxidation capacity were measured in erythrocytes from chickens, ducks, and turkeys.

The effect of NO donors (sodium nitroprusside, S-nitrosoglutathione, dinitrosyl-iron complexes) on the functional and mechanical properties of human platelets and red blood cells has been investigated. It has been established by atomic force microscopy that NO donor-induced platelet disaggregation is accompanied by changes in the elastic properties of cells. It has been shown that, in the presence of NO donors, the detergent-induced hemolysis of red blood cells is delayed, and the elasticity modulus of these cells decreases.

The kinetic and concentration dependences of erythrocyte vesiculation and hemolysis induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate were studied. The similarity of the slopes of the dose dependence of the SDS-induced vesiculation and slow hemolysis rates in the double logarithmic coordinates suggested a close relation between the processes of vesiculation and pore formation for slow hemolysis by the detergent. Further evidence of the competitive nature of the detergent-induced vesiculation and fast hemolysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate was obtained.
