Membrane lipid composition of red blood cells in liver disease: regression of spur cell anaemia after infusion of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine
This 1978 study investigated the effects of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PPC) infusion on red blood cell (RBC) membrane composition in patients with liver cirrhosis exhibiting spur cell anemia. Eight patients received 2 g/day of PPC for five days. Post-infusion results showed a decrease in the cholesterol-to-phospholipid molar ratio in RBC membranes
