Sodium influx in serum-deprived human fibroblasts is by way of a pathway which shows saturation kinetics. A plot of initial Na influx versus [Na]0 ([Na]i approximately equal to 10 mM) gives a simple Michaelis-Menten type of curve with a K1/2 = 70.0 +/- 8.1 mM and a Vmax = 14.5 +/- 1.9 mumol/g prot/m

## Abstract Human fibroblasts that have been serum deprived for 4 hours have a digitoxin‐insensitive Na influx of 9.5 ± 1.0 (n = 4) μmol/g prot/min which is not significantly different from the influx of 9.4 ± 0.6 (n = 3) μmol/g prot/min measured in cells arrested in the G~1~/G~0~ state by serum‐de
## Abstract Sodium influx in serum‐deprived human fibroblasts in a nominally Ca‐free, Mg‐free medium is significantly higher (17.8 ± 1.9 μmole/g prot/min) than that measured in a medium containing 1.8 mM Ca and 1 mM Mg (10.9 ± 0.7 μmole/g prot/min), and is stimulated dramatically (44.1 ± 6.1 μmole/
## Abstract Growth‐contingent alterations in potassium and sodium fluxes, ouabain binding, and potassium ion content were examined following serum stimulation of quiescent, density‐inhibited chicken embryo fibroblasts. Serum stimulation resulted in very rapid 1.5‐ to 1.8‐fold increases in ouabain‐s
