Abstract
We have measured the effect of anesthetics on sulfate transport in the human erythrocyte and have found that a wide variety of chemical classes of anesthetics, including the anesthetic steroid alphaxalone, inhibit sulfate transport in human erythrocytes at concentrations paralleling the concentrations that block nerve conduction. These experiments suggest that anesthetics act through a general mechanism and that the sulfate transport system in the red blood cell is a good model for studying the mechanism of action of anesthetics.

The LLC-PK1 cell line transports phosphate (Pi), glucose, and amino acids using carriers similar to those in proximal tubular cells. Others have reported that when monolayers reach confluence, hexose transport increases and activity of the A-amino acid transporter falls. The present study evaluates
The cell membrane permeability governs the rate of solute transport into and out of the cell, significantly affecting the cell's metabolic processes, viability, and potential usefulness in both biotechnological applications and physiological systems. Most previous studies of the cell membrane permea
