The effects of transport inhibitors on sodium outflux and influx in red blood cells: evidence for exchange diffusion
AUTOR(ES)
Dunn, Michael J.
RESUMO
Active sodium transport (outflux or efflux) in red blood cells generally has been measured by assessing the amount of outflux inhibited by digitalis glycosides (outflux-fraction I). The presence of a ouabain-uninhibited sodium outflux (outflux-fraction II) attributable either to a second active transport mechanism or to exchange diffusion has been the subject of recent investigations. In the present study a variety of transport inhibitors, including ouabain, ethacrynic acid, furosemide, oligomycin, and amiloride, were studied for their effects on these components of sodium transport in RBC.
