Abstract:

In order to understand injuries occurred in erythrocytes treated with  the methylene blue (MB) photochemical method, the changes of high-energy phosph a temetabolites in the treated erythrocytes were studied by 31P NMR. T he control and treated erythrocyte samples, which originally allcame from stored blood of  healthy adults, were measured by 31P NMR with an MSL-300 MHz spectr ometer. L-hist idine was added to half of the treated samples before the treatment. The effects  of the MB photochemical method on the erythrocytes were studied by measuring the relative changes of 2,3-DPG, ATP and (PME+SP) contents. In erythrocytes treat e d with MB photochemistry, the contents of (PME+SP) increased significantly, and  the contents of 2,3-DPG and ATP decreased significantly. Our data suggest that, in the MB treated erythrocytes, glucose metabolism through the pentose phosphate pathway increases significantly. It is concluded that MB treatment may affect physical, chemical and functional properties of erythrocytes to some degree, and such effects can be ameliorated by L-histidine.
