    Abstract:
    The effect of antioxidants alpha-tocopherol and ionol on membranes of human red cells and bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) from azolektin has been studied. Ionol at concentration 4-10 mM induces the hemolysis of erythrocytes, the cells form changes are observed at concentration 2 mM alpha-tocopherol doesn't show the hemolytic properties at concentration 23 mM. The ionol concentration 1 mM doesn't change the form of the cells, but influence the passive electric parameters: the capacity (Cs) of erythrocytic membrane increases and the intracellular conductance (chi i) decreases. Tocopherol (3 mM) induces the decrease both Cs and chi i. The fast increase of membrane conductance is almost immediately registered on one side of BLM at addition of ionol (0,2-0,4 g/ml). Phosphatidylionol synthesized from ionol and contining the acyl chains C15H31 and C17H35 doesn't influence the electrical properties of BLM.
