Erythrocyte Membrane Nanomechanical Rigidity Is Decreased in Obese Patients

Erythrocyte Membrane Nanomechanical Rigidity Is Decreased in Obese Patients

This work intends to describe the physical properties of red blood cell (RBC) membranes in obese adults. The hypothesis driving this research is that obesity, in addition to increasing the amount of body fat, will also modify the lipid composition of membranes in cells other than adipocytes. Forty-n...
