Abstract

Using light microscopy and spectrophotometry, it has been shown that amyloid β-peptide Aβ25–35 and water-soluble fullerene C60 cause lysis of human and rat erythrocytes. Both fullerene C60 and Aβ25–35 partly inhibited the activities of membrane-associated phosphofructokinase and cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase in erythrocytes.
