  • Title: Explaining on request a correlation between membrane Na,K-ATPase and K+ content in erythrocytes and other findings in the preceding paper.
    Author: Ling GN.
    Journal: Physiol Chem Phys Med NMR; 1998; 30(1):89-97. PubMed ID: 9807237.
    Abstract:
    In response to the request of the authors of the preceding paper, this article explains three observations they and others had made in the context of the association-induction hypothesis. (1) Why is Rb+ accumulated in human red blood cells not released when transferred to a Rb(+)-free Hank's solution? (2) Why ouabain, which reduces Rb+ uptake by red blood cells, does not release this ion from Rb(+)-loaded red blood cells? (3) Why is there a positive correlation between the K+ contents of the red blood cells of different mammals and the Na,K-ATPase isolated from the red blood cells of the same mammals?
