The Relationship between Cell Membrane Potassium Ion Transport and Glycolysis

Cell membrane transport of K(+) stimulates the rate of glycolysis in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. A study of the characteristics of this relationship indicates that the stimulation occurs under anaerobic as well as under aerobic conditions. The data suggest that glycolysis is stimulated by a K(+) transport mechanism that is coupled to Na(+) transport because the effect is blunted or abolished w...

Effects of potassium ion on the microcirculation of the hamster.

The vasoactive properties of potassium were assessed in the microcirculation of the hamster cremaster muscle and the muscular and epithelial portions of the hamster cheek pouch. Tissues were transilluminated and suffused with a physiological salt solution whose potassium concentration varied from 0 to 20 mM. Vessel diameters were measured and normalized as a percent of the control diameter (+/-...

The Association Between Salt and Potassium Intake With Multiple Sclerosis

Background: The number of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is increasing in Iran. Studies have shown that high sodium chloride (salt) and low potassium intake are associated with the development of MS. High physiological salt concentrations can lead to the induction of Interleukin-17 (IL-17) accompanied by the excessive generation of helper T-17 cells (Th-17). This cytokine plays a critica...

Differential effects of lipid depletion on membrane sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and potassium ion-dependent phosphatase.

The phospholipid-dependence of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) and associated K-+-dependent phosphatase activity (EC 3.6.1.7) have been compared. Unlike the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase activities, the K-+-dependent phosphatase activities of a number of different preparations were not closely correlated with their total phospholipid contents. After partial...
