iollo markers that associate with Red Blood Cell
Arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid is a key component of red blood cell membranes and plays a role in regulating red blood cell flexibility and stability. Changes in arachidonic acid levels can impact red blood cell structure and function.References

Docosahexaenoic acid
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that can incorporate into red blood cell membranes and influence their fluidity and function. DHA levels correlate with red blood cell omega-3 content.References

Phosphatidylcholine aa C36:4
Phosphatidylcholines are major structural components of red blood cell membranes. Changes in phosphatidylcholine aa C36:4 may indicate alterations in red blood cell membrane phospholipid composition.References
