... Abstract Two different dialysis methods were used to G6PD load the erythrocytes of G6PD deficient subjects. With both methods the yield of entrapment was about 30–40% of the added G6PD. The functional behaviour of these G6PD loaded erythrocytes was evaluated by HMS either in resting conditions...

... Abstract The phospholipids of the red cell membrane are asymmetrically distributed across the bilayer. Loss of this asymmetry by certain normal and pathological red cells is correlated with their increased adherence both in vitro and in vivo. Red cells loaded under conditions which result...

... can advance person-centered approaches in medicine. With the goal of refining the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diverse diseases, this chapter presents recent progress recorded in the literature on stress-related diseases, highlighting the allostatic load model that represents the biological...

... Abstract Consumption of sodium bicarbonate (300 mg/kg 1-2 h before exercise) can temporarily increase blood bicarbonate concentrations, enhancing extracellular buffering of hydrogen ions which accumulate and efflux from the working muscle. Such ‘bicarbonate loading' provides an ergogenic...

... of this review. We will present current information about the acute use of water and salt as a nutritional aid that can help cardiovascular function. The impact of salt and water loading on reducing cardiovascular and thermal strain and its consequences on exercise performance will also be discussed. Most...
