23Na-NMR studies of Na + interaction with human red cell membranes from normotensives and hypertensives

Na + interaction with unsealed human red cell ghosts has been studied by 23Na-NMR relaxation rate ( R 1) measurements. Data on a total of nine subjects including seven volunteer normotensives (NBP) and two untreated hypertensives (HBP) are presented. Qualitative treatment of the data gives informati...

Description
Summary:Na + interaction with unsealed human red cell ghosts has been studied by 23Na-NMR relaxation rate ( R 1) measurements. Data on a total of nine subjects including seven volunteer normotensives (NBP) and two untreated hypertensives (HBP) are presented. Qualitative treatment of the data gives information on the dynamic behavior of Na + undergoing fast exchange between the free and bound states. The excess longitudinal relaxation rate (Δ R) −1 plotted against total [Na +], known as the James-Noggle plot, exhibits different behavior for NBP and HBP ghosts, with a relatively low binding constant of approx. 100 M −1 for HBP ( p
