THE RELATIONSHIP OF MALE MORTALITY WITH STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL STATE OF CELL MEMBRANES
It has been shown that, according to the results of long-term follow up, the hypothesis about the relationship of mortality from hypertension and membrane disorders determined by the method of M. Ganessa has not been proven. However, revealed was significant association between the total mortality in the cohort and affiliation of the deceased with the VII decile rate of Na+-Li+-counter- transport rate in the erythrocyte membrane. At the same time the deceased males with membrane abnormalities, i.e. those in the IV quartile of Na+-Li+-counter-transport rate, had a significantly more frequent comorbidity of cancer pathology and hypertension.
