## Abstract It is shown that the signal of intracellular and extracellular sodium of red blood cells can be separated by a difference in diffusion. Comparison with proton diffusion experiments conducted in parallel showed that this difference was caused by restriction to the cell volume. The measur

✦ Synopsis
The chloride (Cl-) distribution in human red blood cell (RBC) suspensions was studied using cobalt(I1) glycine, [ Co(Gly), 1 -, as a shift reagent (SR). When [ Co(Gly), 1 -was added to suspensions of human RBCs, it shifted the ,'C1 NMR signal of the extracellular C1-. Intracellular and extracellular 35C1-signals were clearly discriminated. Erythrocytes were impermeable to [ Co(Gly),l-but were slowly permeable to the SR Coz+ and to the relaxation agent Mn2+. The exchange of intracellular C1-with extracellular hypophosphite in human RBCs was monitored by ,'CI NMR. The C1-efflux was found to follow first-order kinetics with an efflux rate constant of 0.0024 min-'.
