[Changes in the structuro-functional properties of erythrocytes in vascular diseases of the brain].

In patients with various impairments of brain circulation a decrease in deformation and osmotic stability of erythrocytes were observed. These findings correlated with the decrease in activity of Na+, K+- and Ca2+-ATPases from the cell membranes. At the same time, the Mg/+-ATPase activity was markedly increased. Conductivity for K+, Na+ and Ca2+ was increased in lipid bilayer of erythrocytes obtained from the patients with brain vascular pathology.
