Research Abstract

Physicochemical properties of blood obtained from 23 residents of coast and 21 residents of mountain in Himi city, Toyama, Japan were investigated. Blood filterability and osmotic resistance of red blood cells of the coastal residents were larger than those of the residents of mountain. Difference was observed in the composition of fatty acids in the phospholipids of the membrane of red blood cells. Multiple regression analysis suggested that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) statabilized the membrane of red blood cells.
Viscosity and apparent activation energy of ethyl ester of EPA in vitro were the smallest among ethyl esters of 10 fatty acids studied.
An attempt ot measure the released ADP from red blood cells under shearing stress was made by using luciferin-luciferase reagent. It was suggested that red blood cells from old people tended to release more ADP than those from young people.
