Scanning electron microscopic observation of erythrocytes in hyperlipemia rats / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the morphological changes of erythrocytes in hyperl ipemia. Methods: Wistar rats used were divided into normal control group (NC) an d hyp erlipemia group (HL, fed with high lipid diets). The morphological changes of er ythrocytes were observed by SEM, and classified and counted. Results: Compared with NC,percentage of normal erythrocytes in HL were decreased from 76.4 % to 45.7%. The percentage of echinocytes, spherostomatocytes and target cells w ere increased from 4%, 2.2%, 1.5% to 17.3%, 10.4%, 5.8% respectively. The nu mber of ridged cells and abnormal cells was a little increased.Conclusion: The number of abnormal erythrocytes was significantly increased in h yperlipemia.
