Abstract
Abnormalities of both structure and function have been described in the erythrocyte membrane of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In order to elucidate the molecular basis of these abnormalities we have carried out differential scanning microcalorimetry of the erythrocyte membrane and gel electrophoresis of membrane polypeptides. The partial enthalpy of so-called 'C-transition' (at 63 degrees C) was found to be increased. This may be explained by increased content of band 3 protein in SHR erythrocyte membrane.
