Membrane polypeptide aggregates in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient and in vitro aged red blood cells.

TLDR
RBC membrane polypeptide aggregates have been quantitated by PAGE SDS and by gel filtration and may represent an early and sensitive indicator of oxidative damage to red cells.

Oxidant damage mediates variant red cell resistance to malaria

TL;DR: Evidence is presented here that both α- and β-thal trait red cells from adults are refractory to parasite development because of oxidant sensitivity, and, furthermore, that fetal red cells and G6PD− cells areRefractory for the same reason.

Glutathione cycle activity and pyridine nucleotide levels in oxidant-induced injury of cells.

TL;DR: Early metabolic events take place that are important in the fate of the cell exposed to oxidants that are described in P388D1 macrophagelike tumor cells: activation of the glutathione cycle and depletion of cellular NAD.

Oxidant damage of the lipids and proteins of the erythrocyte membranes in unstable hemoglobin disease. Evidence for the role of lipid peroxidation.

TL;DR: The erythrocyte membranes in hemoglobin Köln disease show evidence of lipid peroxidation with production of malonyldialdehyde, and it is concluded that the nondissociable membrane aggregates formed in this disease are likely cross-linked by maloneyldial dehyde.

Red-cell-membrane polypeptide aggregates in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mutants with chronic hemolytic disease. A clue to the mechanism of hemolysis.

TL;DR: Red-cell membranes from patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency were studied and it is postulate that the polypeptide aggregates are indicators of oxidant damage to the red-cell membrane, which results in decreased deformability and chronic hemolysis.
