Abstract:
Erythrocyte deformability was studied by laser interferometry in rats with cerebral ischemia. Ninety minutes after ligation of both common carotid arteries the erythrocyte deformability coefficient decreased by 11+/-2% in experimental group in comparison with the baseline level and by 12% in comparison with sham-operated animals and remained 16% decreased after 4 days.
