Allopurinol Prevents Erythrocyte Deformability Impairing but Not the Hematological Alterations After Limb Ischemia–Reperfusion in Rats

Abstract: The measurement of red blood cell deformability provides a possible method for detecting the effect of ischemia-reperfusion on erythrocytes. In our study the effect of 1-h ischemia-reperfusion with or without allopurinol pretreatment on hematological parameters and red blood cell deformability was investigated in a follow-up experiment of 26 male CD outbred rats that were subjected to unilateral hind-limb ischemia by microvascular clips on femoral vessels for 1 h (IR, n = 6), some rats received allopurinol pre… Show more

“…Nemeth N et al found higher MCV levels for one week measured daily in early postoperative period after unilateral 1 h hind-limb IR on femoral vessels (+allopurinol) than in sham operated and control groups in male rats [6]. Berra HH et al reported enhanced MCV levels after 14 days in experimentally infected rats with Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas' disease) in comparison with control animals [7].…”

“…Decreased erythrocyte deformability leads to microcirculatory disarrangements such as capillary occlusion and diminished oxygen delivery for the whole body (13). In this manner, the examination of erythrocyte deformability may ensure important information on circulation and free radicals during I/R injury (14).…”

“…[17][18][19][20][21][22] Besides systemic changes, alterations of properties of local blood in excluded ischemic region and the out-flowing blood from the reperfused region raise more questions to be answered. 14,16,19,20,23 The questions of time factor and circulation-microcirculation of the flaps are in strong relation with the changes of blood flow properties, with hemorheological parameters. These include blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, red blood cell deformability, and red blood cell aggregation, as the most widely investigated parameters in various pathophysiological processes.…”
