Storage quality parameters of the three groups of SRBCs. The mean corpuscular volume (A), hemolysis rate (B), 2,3-diphosphoglycerate level (C), glucose level (D), lactate level (E), pH (F), and supernatant sodium and potassium levels (G, H) were measured throughout the 35 day storage period. Asterisks indicate significance (ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons—* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001)
