The effects of transport inhibitors on sodium outflux and influx in red blood cells: evidence for exchange diffusion

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.
