title: Peroxynitrite activates K+-Cl- cotransport in human erythrocytes.
abstract: Peroxynitrite was found to induce the release of K+ via the Na+/Cl- cotransport system, as do other oxidants. Since peroxynitrite is formed in vivo, its presence could contribute to a pathological dehydration of red blood cells.
