Erythrocytes apoptosis of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus by flow cytometry
Objective To analyze the blood rheological of three rat models built in this paper,and compare the effect of physiological and pathological conditions on the erythrocytes apoptosis and blood rheological by researching the erythrocytes apoptosis of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus,aging rats and normal rats based on Armexin V-FITC/PI double-staining and Annexin V-FITC-FITC/PI-FCM.Methods Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining and Annexin V-FITC-FITC/PI-FCM were applied to study on the erythrocytes apoptosis of three rat models,rats with rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus,aging rats and normal rats.The blood viscosities of these three rat models were analyzed by Z hemorheology analyzer.Results Apoptosis appeared in the erythrocytes of diabetic rats and the blood viscosity of diabetic rats increased significantly.Conclusion Apoptosis appears in the erythrocytes of diabetic rats,not in the erythrocytes of aging rats and normal rats.And the apoptosis is not associated with age.However,there are correlations between erythrocytes apoptosis and blood viscosity.
