  • Title: Effect of zinc on leucocyte sodium transport in vitro.
    Author: Patrick J, Michael J, Golden MN, Golden BE, Hilton PJ.
    Journal: Clin Sci Mol Med; 1978 May; 54(5):585-7. PubMed ID: 750160.
    Abstract:
    1. In a preparation of human leucocytes maintained in tissue culture fluid, increasing the extracellular zinc concentration leads to a significant increase in both ouabain-sensitive sodium efflux and in sodium influx. 2. Cell water and sodium content do not alter significantly with increasing extracellular zinc concentration. 3. A small increase in the ouabain-insensitive sodium efflux can be demonstrated when the external zinc concentration is raised from 0.75 mumol/l to 90 mumol/l.
