Moreover, necroptosis of erythrocytes is morphologically close to hemolysis, and the plasma membrane integrity is not preserved when erythrocytes undergo this lethal subroutine [28]
Interestingly, erythropoietin exerted an antieryptotic effect, which protected against the prooxidant effect of aluminum [426]
