Erythrocyte Membrane Cation Permeability
A B S T R A C T Cetiedil has been reported to relieve painful crises in sickle cell anemia and to have antisickling properties in vitro. The drug alters neither oxygen affinity nor the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S. Because the viscosity of the erythrocyte interior and the kinetics ofgelation are dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin, we postulated that cetiedil might inhibit sickling ...
متن کاملIncreased cation permeability in mutant mouse red blood cells with defective membrane skeletons.
Cellular cation homeostasis in mouse erythrocytes with defective membrane skeletons was examined in three mouse mutants, hemolytic anemia (sphha/sphha), spherocytosis (sph/sph), and normoblastosis (nb/nb), and compared with reticulocytes produced by repetitive bleeding of congenic normal mice. To assess reticulocyte maturity, nucleic acid and transferrin receptor contents were measured by fluor...
متن کاملCation Transport in Dog Red Cells
Studies have been made on the cation transport system of the dog red cell, a system of particular interest because it has been shown that there is a marked dependence of cation fluxes on the cell volume. We have found that a 10% decrease in cell volume causes a large increase in 1 hr uptake of (24)Na as well as a considerable inhibition of (42)K uptake. This effect cannot be produced by a diffe...
متن کاملPatterns of Nonelectrolyte Permeability in Human Red Blood Cell Membrane
The permeability of human red cell membrane to 90 different molecules has been measured. These solutes cover a wide spectrum of nonelectrolytes with varying chemical structure, chain length, lipid solubility, chemical reactive group, ability to form hydrogen bonds, and other properties. In general, the present study suggests that the permeability of red cell membrane to a large solute is determ...
متن کاملRed cell membrane and cation deficiency in Rh null syndrome.
A 52-yr-old multiparous white female was found to have Rh null blood type. She had macrocytic anemia, with reticulocytosis (15%-20%), of long duration. Although stomatocytes in peripheral blood were numerous and osmotic fragility was increased, suggesting increased cell water, the RBC cation content, and thus cell water, was decreased. Cell dehydration was confirmed by an increased proportion o...
