Changes in erythrocyte deformability during day and possible role of melatonin.

CONCLUSIONS: We suggest the presence of diurnal changes in erythrocyte deformability with worse values in the morning that may contribute to higher risk of ischemic attacks in the morning hours. Direct in vitro effect of melatonin on deformability was not observed, but possible in vivo effects cannot be excluded. PMID: 29453921 [PubMed - in process]
