## Abstract Platelet membrane fluidity values were assessed in three groups of subjects: (1) 15 Alzheimer's disease patients with a firstβdegree family history of the disorder; (2) 16 Alzheimer's disease patients with no family history of the disorder; (3) 22 healthy control subjects. The distribut

A study war undertaken to determine whether. alterations in the configuration of erythrocyte rnenibrancs of patients with Huntington disease, reported by other investigators, could be reflected in membrane fluidity-viscosity. Sincc membrane fluidity appears to he related to the fatty acid compositio
The effects were examined of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on platelet aggregation in vivo or in vitro and on lipid fluidity of the membrane. PNS (200 mg/kg i.p. Γ1 d or Γ3 d) significantly inhibited abnormal increases of platelet aggregation and platelet adhesiveness in rats subjected to permane
A recently developed technique is used to study the permeation of water through membranes of human erythrocyte ghosts. The method, based on the difference of the indices of refraction of H2O and D2O, is briefly described. Comparative measurements on erythrocyte ghosts from normal donors and from pat
Raynaud's syndrome (RS) is characterized by intense blood vessel spasm resulting in finger blanching. Treatment primarily involves vasodilation. Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) has been shown to be a potent vasoconstrictor and platelet aggregant. It may be possible to produce a vasodilatory and anti-thromboti
