Abstract

The variation of plasmatic viscosity in alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits was investigated. Additionally, hematocrit values, plasmatic density and red blood cell deformability were estimated. The diabetic animals showed loss weight whereas the density and viscosity of plasma were increased. The Hematocrit values did not show any significative statistical differences. These results suggest the increased level of plasmatic viscosity is an involucrated factor in the blood viscosity described for decompensated diabetic patients.
