Erythrocyte ghost (Na+ + K+) ATPase activity was studied in mice with hereditary muscular dystrophy (strain C 57 BL 6J/dy) and appropriate controls. No difference was observed in the enzymatic activity between dystrophic and any of the healthy genotypes. Ouabain 5 mM and 0.1 mM inhibited the enzymat

✦ Synopsis
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy the activity of (Na+ + K+)ATPase in erythrocyte ghosts is reduced and its reaction to ouabain is paradoxical both in low sodium and high sodium systems. No such changes were seen in a case of Becker dystrophy, in limb-girdle dystrophy, and in neurogenic atrophy of muscles. In myotonic dystrophy and congenital myotonia the activity of ATPase and its inhibition by ouabain were depressed.

Using the nonpermeant shift reagent dysprosium tripolyphosphate the signals of intra-and extracellular sodium are separated, enabling measurement of sodium fluxes nondestructively, without the need to physically sep
Active ion exchanges across erythrocyte membrane from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy were studied by two methods: --erythrocyte ghosts (Na+,K+)ATPase activity and its sensibility to ouabain, using an enzymatic method; --active sodium outflux and its sensibility to ouabain using a radioiso
Sodium, potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) pump activity has been variously reported to be increased, decreased, or unchanged in bipolar patients. To explore this association we conducted a meta-analysis of the available literature. All papers containing data on erythrocyte N
