title: Inhibition of human erythrocyte (Na(+)-K+)ATPase by organic hydroperoxides and protection by ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene.
abstract: 1. The in vitro effects of cumene hydroperoxide and t-butyl hydroperoxide on intact human erythrocyte membrane (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activities have been studied. 2. (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activities on erythrocyte membranes decreased in agreement with the results of chemiluminescence experiments. 3. Our results demonstrated that the organic hydroperoxides inhibit the activity of (Na(+)-K+) ATPase enzyme and that the antioxidants used prevent this inhibition.
