Electron spin resonance of erythrocytes in Huntington's disease.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies were carried out with MAL-6 as spin label on erythrocytes from 21 patients with Huntington's disease (HD) and 18 controls. No significant difference was found between the ESR spectra from HD patients and controls. These findings do not support the theory that HD is a generalized membrane defect.
