✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Flash frozen samples of normal human blood were cryosectioned and cryodried for electron probe x‐ray microanalysis of the concentration of ions and elements in individual erythrocytes (RBCs). The data (expressed in mM/kg dry weight) demonstrated a systematic pattern of variation between the concentration of ions and elements in the RBCs. Specifically as K^+^ and Cl decreased in concentration, Ca^2+^ and sulfur increased in concentration. Phosphorous, Na^+^ and Mg^2+^ did not demonstrate a significant pattern of change. These findings are related to the dehydration and to the volume decrease that accompanies senescence of the RBC.

In order to determine the effects of large variations in plasma amino acid concentrations upon human erythrocyte amino acid content, the plasma concentration of blood samples was enhanced (x 3.8) by adding amino acids or decreased (x 0.49) by plasma dilution. Before and after incubation (30 s at 37
