Popis: The effect of NO donors (sodium nitroprusside, S-nitrosoglutathione, dinitrosyl-iron complexes) on the functional and mechanical properties of human platelets and red blood cells has been investigated. It has been established by atomic force microscopy that NO donor-induced platelet disaggregation is accompanied by changes in the elastic properties of cells. It has been shown that, in the presence of NO donors, the detergent-induced hemolysis of red blood cells is delayed, and the elasticity modulus of these cells decreases. The results obtained indicate that NO donors regulate the structural and functional properties of platelets and red blood cells.
