Ly. Gendel et al., CHANGES IN SURFACE ARCHITECTONICS OF ERYT HROCYTES INDUCED BY SYNTHETIC ANTIOXIDANT PHENOZAN-1, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (4), 1996, pp. 508-512
Scanning electron microscopy revealed changes in erythrocyte morpholog
y induced by the synthetic antioxidant phenozan-1. Phenozan-1 at 10(-7
)-10(-5) M acts as an echinocytogen. This effect of the antioxidant is
, probably, due to its distribution in the external monolayer of the e
rythrocyte membrane and associated structural changes.
