The effect of the sodium cyanate-induced carbamylation (carbamoylation) of proteins in erythrocytes was studied using spin labelling and spectrophotometric methods. The experiments were conducted in whole blood and in erythrocytes in phosphate buffer using 25 mmol/L of sodium cyanate. Lipid membrane fluidity was determined using three spin-labelled fatty acids: 5-, 12- and 16-doxylstearic acids (5-DS, 12-DS, 16-DS). Internal viscosity was measured with Tempamine, using also EPR spectroscopy. Osmotic fragility was determined spectrophotometrically. Incubation of whole blood with sodium cyanate led to an increase in lipid membrane fluidity in the deeper region of the lipid layer, indicated by 12- and 16-doxylstearic acid, and a decrease near the surface (5-DS). Statistically significant results were obtained for the internal viscosity and osmotic fragility of erythrocytes. An increase in internal viscosity and increase in osmotic fragility were found in erythrocytes after incubation of whole blood, as well as in erythrocytes incubated with sodium cyanate in buffer. Alterations in internal viscosity were stronger in erythrocytes incubated with sodium cyanate in blood than in erythrocytes in the buffer. On the other hand, higher osmotic fragility was observed for erythrocytes in the buffer.
