dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of the motor system. It has been hypothesised that red blood cells (RBCs) may be involved in the disease process by the release of damaging molecules. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this ex vivo study is to compare RBCs biochemical and hemorheological parameters between ALS patients and healthy donors to identify novel biomarkers of the ALS disease. METHODS: We included 82 ALS patients and 40 gender age-matched healthy donors. We performed quantification of erythrocyte aggregation and deformability, nitric oxide (NO) efflux from RBCs, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme activity and intraerythrocytic concentration of nitrite, nitrate and S-nitrosogluthatione (GSNO). RESULTS: Erythrocyte deformability and AChE activity were increased in patients with ALS in comparison to healthy donors. NO efflux from RBCs and concentration of intraerythrocytic nitrite were lower in ALS patients. In patients, we found that for higher NO range of values the respiratory function is worse and that for higher AChE range of values the RBCs nitrite content increase. CONCLUSION: The results of the present study indicate that NO efflux from RBCs and RBCs AChE should be further explored as potential biomarkers for ALS.pt_PT
