Rapid Elimination of Blood Alcohol Using Erythrocytes: Mathematical Modeling and In Vitro Study

Figure 5

Images obtained by transmission electron microscopy for RBCs at different steps of ADH encapsulation by the method of hypoosmotic dialysis/isoosmotic resealing. Activity ADH is equal to 10 IU/ml of RBC suspension. (a, d) Initial native erythrocytes. (b, e) The RBCs immediately after a hypoosmotic dialysis procedure. (c, f) Loaded RBCs after resealing and additional 2 h cells relaxation at 37°C. Magnification corresponds to 2000x (a, b, c) or 5000x (d, e, f). The scale bars correspond to 5 µm (a, b, c) and 1 µm (d, e, f).
