The inorganic composition of living cells is regulated by a selective a h -r p t i o n process which undoubtedly is intimately associated with metabolism. The mineral environment, however, may influence the absorption of electrolytes by effecting a shift in metabolism itself (Steward and Preston, '4
The properties of the Na-K pump and some of the factors controlling its amount and function were studied in rat myotubes in culture. The number of Na-K pump sites was quantified by measuring the amount of [3H]ouabain bound to whole-cell preparations. Activity of the pump was determined by measuremen
Samples of proximal and distal tubular fuid were collected from control rats and from adrenalectomized animals maintained on 0.90/0 NaC1 solution. Plasma and tubular fluid were analyzed for Na 22 afber adequate isotope equilibration and for Na and K by microflamephotometry. Similar analyses were per
