[Study of the structure of erythrocyte membrane in spontaneous genetic hypertension using the spin-label method]

An analysis of ESR spectra of maleimid spin-labeled erythrocyte membranes of spontaneously hypertensive rats of SHR line and normotensive rats of the control line WKY showed differences in the structure of membrane proteins in the norm and pathology. These differences were compared with the differences between the erythrocyte membranes of SHR and WKY, found earlier by fluorescent probe method. An important role of membrane peripheric proteins in the appearance of the above differences in suggested.
