title: [Transport of univalent cations across the erythrocyte membrane of hypertensive rats of various ages].
abstract: In the erythrocytes incubated at low temperature (3-6 degrees C), the uptake of Li+ in 6- and 16-week old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was significantly higher than in the normotensive rats (WKY) of the same age. During the incubation of cells at 37 degrees C no difference occurred in either ouabain-sensitive or ouabain-resistant fluxes of Rb+, Na+ and Li+ between the 16-week old SHR and the WKY. K+ efflux from the erythrocytes at 3 degrees C was consistently stimulated after addition to the incubation medium of 1 mmol/l Ca2+. The value of Ca2+-dependent K+-transport was significantly elevated in 16-week old SHR than in the WKY, but there was no difference in 6-week old rats. Propranolol-induced Ca2+-dependent K+ efflux from the cells at 22 degrees C was markedly higher in 6- and 16-week old SHR as compared with the WKY. The results provide a further evidence in favor of the hypothesis on the existence of a "membrane defect" in red blood cells in the SHR.
