Figure 8: Histograms representing Heinz bodies detected in blood samples after mild heating at >37°C, redrawn from Sugawara et al. [32]. The histograms for 37°C and 42°C are displayed using a temperature-untreated sample as a reference. One-hundred red cells were chosen, and the number of Heinz bodies contained in each red cell counted. (a) was constructed from the microscopic views (Figure 6) and the concerned histograms shown in Figure 7, whereas (b−f) represent the results from another five healthy donors. |
