Abstract
Observations of cells transformed by the Bryan strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV‐BH) suggested that the intracellular concentrations of sodium ion (Na+) may play a critical role in cellular metabolism. In an attempt to manipulate intracellular Na+, chick embryo cells were exposed to graded concentrations of Na+ in the cellular growth medium, and the effect on capacity for glucose uptake was examined. After incubation for six hours, the incorporation rate of 2‐deoxyglucose (used as a substitute for glucose) was proportional to the external Na+ concentration over the range, 100 mM to 200 mM. Cells transformed by RSV‐BH were less responsive than nontransformed cells to differences in Na+ at low concentrations. The changes were specifically dependent upon Na+, since K+, Li+, or choline+ were ineffective as substitutes, and increasing the ionic strength above that of 120 mM Na+ was effective only when Na+ was the added cation.

## Abstract Much of the literature on the uptake of glucose by untransformed and transformed animal cells is based on experiments carried out with 2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose (2‐DOG). Results obtained with this analog can be ambiguous, since 2‐DOG can be phosphorylated by hexokinases of animal cells. An intr
