title: Volume-dependent regulation of Ca2+-activated potassium channels in erythrocytes from healthy donors and patients with type II diabetes mellitus aggravated by arterial hypertension.
abstract: Increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration caused by calcium ionophore A23187 or ascorbate+phenazine methosulphate electron donor system added to erythrocyte suspension induced similar shifts in erythrocyte membrane potential. These processes are most likely mediated by Ca2+-activated potassium channels. Changes in the osmolarity of the incubation medium produced opposite effects on membrane hyperpolarization induced by A23187 or ascorbate+phenazine methosulphate in erythrocyte isolated from healthy donors, which attests to the existence of different mechanisms of regulation of Ca2+-activated potassium channels. There was no difference in the volume-dependent changes of potassium permeability in cells from patients with type II diabetes mellitus combined with arterial hypertension induced by application A23187 or electron-donor system.
