THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE “THIRD-HAND SMOKE” IN THE CULTURE OF ERYTHROCYTES

Abstract

We studied the biological activity of THS products in a short-term culture of erythrocytes in vitro. It was shown that THS products caused a dose-dependent decrease in the viability of red blood cells, which was accompanied by a decrease in the sorption capacity of cells, the sorption capacity of glycocalyx and the osmotic resistance of red blood cells. The effects of THS products on non-smoking and non-smoking donors in erythrocyte culture differed significantly. It is assumed that the revealed variability of the effects of THS products is associated with compensatory-adaptive rearrangements of erythrocyte membranes in vivo in smoking donors.
