As a major lymphoid organ and a central player in the reticuloendothelial system, the spleen retains the ability to produce lymphocytes.
12.
Since the reticuloendothelial system will remove the haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex from the body, haptoglobin levels will be decreased in hemolytic anemias.
13.
The administration of hydrophobic drugs require molecular encapsulation and it is found that nanosized particles are particularly efficient in evading the reticuloendothelial system.
14.
Macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system store iron as part of the process of breaking down and processing hemoglobin from engulfed red blood cells.
15.
MDF is a significant mediator of shock pathophysiology, reducing myocardial contractility, constricting splanchnic arteries and impairing phagocytosis by the reticuloendothelial system.
16.
As each red blood cell traverses through the reticuloendothelial system, its cell membrane ruptures when its membrane is fragile enough to allow this.
17.
A primary spread of virus occurs, with seeding of the reticuloendothelial system, mainly in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
18.
PEP reaches the bloodstream within hours after the injection ( 90 % after 24 hours ), and is accumulated in the reticuloendothelial system.
19.
Lipoprotein-X is mainly removed by the reticuloendothelial system of the liver and the spleen, as shown by studies using radioactively labeled lipoprotein-X in rats.
20.
In blood plasma, haptoglobin binds free hemoglobin ( Hb ) released from erythrocytes with high complex will then be removed by the reticuloendothelial system ( mostly the spleen ).
