Abstract

The surface state of human erythrocytes in NaCl hypertonic electrolyte medium was studied by methods of spectrophotometry, light, and phase-contrast microscopy. It was established that human erythrocytes manifest significant hypertonic stability. However due to dehydration processes erythrocytes transformation occurs with considerable change in the shape of the cellular surface, that in turn is accompanied by partial destruction of external pre-membranous layers (glycocalyx) and elimination of glycoproteins into the extracellular medium.
