Interaction of flavonoids with red blood cell membrane lipids and proteins: antioxidant and antihemolytic effects.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that binding of the flavonoids to the RBC membranes significantly inhibits lipid peroxidation, and at the same time enhances their integrity against hypotonic lysis.About:

Free radical metabolism in human erythrocytes.
TL;DR: Light is shed on the role of ROS both at physiological and pathological levels and the structural requirements of antioxidants for appreciable radical-scavenging activity and the mechanisms of free radical systems in erythrocytes are understood.

Honey as a source of dietary antioxidants: structures, bioavailability and evidence of protective effects against human chronic diseases.
TL;DR: The evidence of the biological actions of honey can be ascribed to its polyphenolic contents which, in turn, are usually associated to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, as well as to its cardiovascular, antiproliferative and antimicrobial benefits.

Microsomal lipid peroxidation.
John A. Buege,Steven D. Aust +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses microsomal lipid peroxidation, a complex process known to occur in both plants and animals that involves the formation and propagation of lipid radicals, the uptake of oxygen, a rearrangement of the double bonds in unsaturated lipids, and the eventual destruction of membrane lipids.

Dietary antioxidant flavonoids and risk of coronary heart disease: the Zutphen Elderly Study.
TL;DR: Flavonoids in regularly consumed foods may reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease in elderly men and showed an inverse relation with incidence of myocardial infarction.

The preparation and chemical characteristics of hemoglobin-free ghosts of human erythrocytes
TL;DR: The effects of the ionic strength and pH of the hemolyzing solution on the hemoglobin content of human erythrocyte ghosts were studied in phosphate buffers and suggest an electrophysical interaction of hemoglobin with membrane constituents.
