About a Mechanism of the Fåhraeus-Lindquist-Effect

Katiukhin LN

It was proposed a physiologically and experimentally confirmed explanation of Fåhraeus-Lindqvist-effect in capillaries using osmotic profiles of erythrocyte deformability. It was shown the dose-dependent changes of the erythrocytes deformability after forming artificial water pores (nystatin) and occlusion (PbCl2) of available.The effect was conditioned by interchange of the liquid phases between the erythrocyte and plasma in shear flow.
