Abstract

The effect of perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoparticles on the functioning of blood cells is considered. Evidence is presented indicating that emulsified PFC nanoparticles in small volumes affect gas transport function of blood, increasing the rate of oxygen diffusion from erythrocytes to tissues. It was found that PFC nanoparticles also affect the state of blood cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets) in a dose-dependent manner. It was assumed that depending on the emulsion dose, that is, the density of nanoparticles in the surrounding space of cells, the reaction of receptor apparatus can cause activation or deterioration of their functioning.
