Physicochemical Changes in Erythrocyte Membranes during Cold Storage in the Presence of Progesterone.
Abstract
Red cells were stored for 42 days, with and without added progesterone, and at 14 day intervals stroma was prepared from these red cells for analysis by various physicochemical methods. Progesterone appears to bind to the erythrocyte membrane proteins, causing a change in their structure which 'locks' them into a stabilized state that is more or less constant for at least 28 days, then starts to wear off or dissociate.
