Changes in erythrocyte deformability during day and possible role of melatonin
Objectives. The deformability of erythrocytes is their ability to change shape in order to pass through the capillaries. Th is is necessary for quality of microcirculation and sufficient delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Th e aim of our study was to investigate the possible spontaneous changes in t...

The deformability of erythrocytes is their ability to change shape in order to pass through the capillaries.

Methods. Samples of capillary blood were taken from 12 healthy volunteers in the morning (8:00) and early in the evening (16:30).
