Journal ArticleDOI
Factors influencing the lipid composition and fluidity of red cell membranes in vitro: production of red cells possessing more than two cholesterols per phospholipid
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased Fluidity of Red Cell Membrane Lipids in Abetalipoproteinemia
TL;DR: It is indicated that the increased sphingomyelin/lecithin ratio of acanthocytes is responsible for their decreased membrane fluidity, which occurs coincidentally with an abnormality in cell contour and an impairment in cell deformability.
Journal Article
Increased Cholesterol and Decreased Fluidity of Red Cell Membranes (Spur Cell Anemia) in Progressive Intrahepatic Cholestasis
TL;DR: These studies show that a process identical to spur cell anemia in alcoholic cirrhosis may accompany severe liver disease in children with intrahepatic cholestasis in childrenWith respect to progressive hemolytic anemia, this patient's cells acquired morphologic features of spiculated spherocytes with an increase in osmotic fragility and a 21% decrease in cholesterol content.

TL;DR: This report represents a pooling of data obtained in two separate laboratories on two continents utilizing red cells from 13 patients with HS, including both children and adults, and it includes patients with and without spleens.
