title: Sodium pump activity in thymocytes of rats with Goldblatt hypertension.
abstract: Sodium transport has been studied in thymocytes of one-kidney, one-clip (1K, 1C) and two-kidney, one-clip (2K, 1C) models of hypertension in the rat. No differences of intracellular sodium or sodium transport could be demonstrated in either model when compared with sham-operated controls. The experiments provide no evidence to support the concept that an inhibitor of sodium transport is associated with the development of hypertension in the one-kidney, one-clip rat. A previously unrecognized effect of incubation time and cell density on thymocyte sodium metabolism is reported.
