Alterations to plasma membrane lipid contents affect the biophysical properties of erythrocytes from individuals with hypertension

This study reveals that alterations to the lipid contents of erythrocyte plasma membranes occur in hypertension, and these alterations in lipid composition result in morphological and physiological abnormalities that modify the dynamic properties of erythrocytes and contribute to the pathophysiology of hypertension.Graphical abstract
