It could be because lysolecithin is a toxin that causes vasoconstriction affecting iron in the red blood cells which could be affected by lysolecithin being a "potent membrane modifier" and have an influence on free radicals, especially vitamin E. I don't really know an answer but this seems to make some sense.
What else can I help you with?
Is staining what you call it if you diluted a blood sample with distilled water and the red blood cells burst?
You can certainly expect the blood cells to stain the water as their cell membranes rupture from being in a hypotonic solution. The term that describes this is "To lyse". Blood cells lyse in distilled water.
Why is it ok to drink distilled water but detrimental to red blood cells?
1) Red blood cells placed in placed in distilled water cannot reach equilibrium so they will lyse due to osmosis.2) Water you drink is assimilated into the body through the gut...it doesn't just hit the bloodstream or any other unprotected cells.
What happen to cells in dilute urine sample?
In a dilute urine sample, cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and epithelial cells may appear less concentrated or even lyse due to the increased water content. This can make it challenging to interpret the presence of these cells accurately, as they may be less visible and their identification may be less reliable.
Why does the red blood cell lyse in an isosmotic solution of urea?
Urea is isosmotic to the intracellular fluid of red blood cells, but because the membranes of the blood cells are permeable to urea. Urea enters the cell at a much more rapid rate than other permeable solutes (because of the steep concentration gradient) and the cell fills to it bursts.
What cells are in the bloodstream?
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
Can ammonium chloride lyse red blood cells?
yes.
When red blood cells lyse what analyte is affected?
Potassium
What could you do to reduce interference from red blood cells?
Mix the blood in a hypotonic solution, which will cause the RBCs to lyse.
What is the order of steps when extracting hemoglobin from red blood cells?
Separate cells from plasma, lyse cells, precipitate protein, dialyze protein sample.
What does it mean if there is no visible hemolysis?
No visible hemolysis means that the red blood cells have not ruptured or lysed. This could indicate that the integrity of the cell membrane is intact or that there are no factors present that would cause the red blood cells to lyse.
Is staining what you call it if you diluted a blood sample with distilled water and the red blood cells burst?
You can certainly expect the blood cells to stain the water as their cell membranes rupture from being in a hypotonic solution. The term that describes this is "To lyse". Blood cells lyse in distilled water.
Do red blood cell absorb water?
yes, if the blood cells absorb too much water, they can "lyse" or burst. therefore, drinking too much water is dangerous.
What agar is used to demonstrate the ability of some organisms to lyse red blood cells?
Organisms that can metabolize the sugar found in cow's milk have what enzyme
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
Why is it ok to drink distilled water but detrimental to red blood cells?
1) Red blood cells placed in placed in distilled water cannot reach equilibrium so they will lyse due to osmosis.2) Water you drink is assimilated into the body through the gut...it doesn't just hit the bloodstream or any other unprotected cells.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Does every part of the body have red blood cells?
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
