Abstract

The influence of a hydrogen sulfide donor NaHS (2×10-5-10-3 M) on the rat erythrocyte deformability was analyzed by laser diffractometry. NaHS (6×10-5 M) increased, while NaHS (10-3 M) reduced erythrocyte deformability. The effect of NaHS (6×10-5 M) was similar to that of NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10-7 M). However, simultaneous use of NaHS (6×10-5 M) and SNP induced less pronounced changes in erythrocyte deformability than their individual application. It is likely H2S, similar to NO, is involved in the regulation of erythrocyte deformability in the microvascular bed.
