Perfusion vs. oxygen delivery in transfusion with “fresh” and “old” red blood cells: The experimental evidence

“…The deformability of RBCs decreases progressively during storage as shown by studies based on micropipette elongation, filtration, and laser-assisted ektacytometry 70–72. Results indicate that membrane loss is the likely cause for decreased deformability as a function of time during storage, leading to the conclusion that membrane deformability correlates with RBC viability after transfusion.…”

Anti-Ischemia Drugs have no Effect on the In Vivo Metabolism of ATP by RBC in Normotensive Restrained Rats#

“…Similar break down may also occur for GTP although little is known of the physiologic functions of this nucleotide in the RBC and how they may be different from ATP. It is also interesting to know that RBC concentrations of GTP are much higher in the fish (20 -50% of ATP) compared to the rodents [49,50]. The species difference may be attributed to genetic background and environmental factors which are inherently different between aquatic species and rodents.…”
