The rigidifying effects of membrane cholesterol on red cell deformability were significant in non-GP.Mur RBCs but not in GP.Mur+ RBCs. Each dot represents the data of a subject with normal RBC sizes. The impacts of (A) membrane cholesterol and (B) serum cholesterol on maximal elongation indices (EImax) are presented. Significant linear fitting (* p < 0.05) is presented using a solid line, poor or failed linear fitting (p > 0.05) in thin dashed lines. n.s., not significant.
