Na/Na exchange through the Na/K pump of HK sheep erythrocytes

Dear Sir : In their classic paper of 1960, Tosteson and Hoffman (13) provided the physiological basis for the HK/LK polymorphism of sheep erythrocytes (see Lauf (11 ] for a recent review). In their results, the function of the Na/K pump in HK sheep cells differed in one important respect from pumps in human red cells. Garrahan and Glynn (5) showed that human red cell pumps, in the absence of ex...

The contestants, who play in a predetermined order, know the values announced by their predecessors but must make a different choice. The winner is that participant whose guess is closest to the value eventually taken by X . Feder (Amer. Math. Monthly,...

Intracellular Na+ Concentration ([Na+]i) Is Elevated in Diabetic Hearts Due to Enhanced Na+–Glucose Cotransport

BACKGROUND Intracellular Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)]i) regulates Ca(2+) cycling, contractility, metabolism, and electrical stability of the heart. [Na(+)]i is elevated in heart failure, leading to arrhythmias and oxidative stress. We hypothesized that myocyte [Na(+)]i is also increased in type 2 diabetes (T2D) due to enhanced activity of the Na(+)-glucose cotransporter. METHODS AND RESULTS T...
