[Quantitative characteristic of the redox state of erythrocytes]
Abstract:
The introduction of the parameters characterizing the redox state of the cell, such as the effective redox potential and the redox buffer capacity has been theoretically substantiated. A comparative study of the parameters of the redox state of erythrocytes from healthy donors and patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome has been performed. It was found that the redox buffer capacity in erythrocytes from patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome was reduced by 30-40% in comparison with the redox buffer capacity of erythrocytes from healthy donors. The largest change in the effective redox potential was observed for erythrocytes from patients with diabetes, which indicates a more expressed oxidative stress in this pathology.

Structure and Function of Erythrocytes
The erythrocyte plasma membrane is associated with proteins such as spectrin, which forms a flexible cytoplasmic meshwork. This meshwork allows erythrocytes to twist, turn, become cup-shaped, and regain their biconcave shape as they pass through narrow capillaries. Additionally, erythrocytes can form...
