[Changes in cytospectrophotometric characteristics and configuration of erythrocytes exposed to constant electric...

The action of constant current (0.01-3 A, 1-25 V) on human blood during varying exposures induced intensified plaque-formation in the preparations of the local hemolysis test, and transformation of red blood cells-discocytes into echino- and poikilocytes that was attended by pronounced changes in the extent, intensity of light diffusion, natural green and red luminescence of red blood cells caused by flavoproteins and metalloporphyrins. The growth of the last factor has evidenced the presence of significant destructive changes in the cells as a result of constant current direct action on red blood cells.
