The Effect of Thyroid Hormones on The Viscoelastic Behavior of Red Blood Cells
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Seyed Reihani, Nader (Supervisor)
Abstract
Blood is one of the most important fluids in the human body, consisting of three parts: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The mechanical properties of red blood cells are important in many diseases. The study of viscosity and other mechanical properties of red blood cells in recent years has attracted the attention of scientists in this field. The mechanical properties of red blood cells are related to the outer membrane and its cytoskeleton, and the study of these components can predict the behavior of red blood cells in diseases. The thyroid gland is located in front of the neck and secretes hormones that control many chemical processes in different parts of the body....
