Figure 1. Effect of donor age, Y-27632, and diamide on red blood cell deformability.

Figure 1.

RBCs from older adults were less deformable than RBCs from young adults in control (saline) conditions, as indicated by a greater RCTT. Incubation of RBCs with 1 μM Y-27632 restored deformability in older adults, whereas 500 μM diamide decreased RBC deformability similarly in young and older adults. *P < 0.05 vs. saline (within age); †P < 0.05 vs. young (within condition)
