[Change in the lipid status of the erythrocyte membrane in essential hypertension].
The erythrocyte ghosts fatty acid composition of 29 patients with essential hypertension of the II stage were investigated. The significant decrease of some saturated fatty acids as myristic, palmitic and stearic under hypertension was established. Simultaneously the percent of omega-6 arachidonic and docosatrienoic acids substantially increased. At the same time no changes in omega-3 fatty acids were observed. The possible relationship between hypercholesterolemia and erythrocyte membrane fatty acid profile under essential hypertension discussed.
