...D. N. Baron; Rachel J. Green; F. A. Khan 1. Hypokalaemia may be produced in man by intravenous adrenaline infusion, or as a result of pathological disturbances which have led to a high plasma adrenaline concentration. 2. With isolated human leucocytes used as a cellular model, adrenaline...

...Hans-Georg GÜLlner; Andrew K. Graf; John R. Gill; Murray D. Mitchell 1. To examine the hypothesis that the normalcy of blood pressure, despite an increase in circulating angiotensin II, and the blood pressor hyporesponsiveness to infusion of pressor agents which are associated with hypokalaemia...

...M. Cumberbatch; D. B. Morgan 1. The erythrocyte content of sodium and of potassium were measured in 231 unselected patients with hypokalaemia, and together with net ouabain-sensitive sodium efflux in patients with severe hypokalaemia, before (20 patients) and during potassium repletion (14 patients...

...E. Jill Rubython; D. B. Morgan 1. The sodium content, the ouabain-sensitive sodium efflux and efflux rate constant and the ouabain-binding capacity were measured in the erythrocytes of 53 patients with hypokalaemia and in 37 healthy controls. The sodium content alone was measured in a further 57...

... between the total activity of the sodium pumps and the membrane permeability to sodium. 3. Changes in the erythrocyte sodium content were due to a decrease in the activity of the sodium pumps (as in hypokalaemia and digoxin treatment), or a decrease in the permeability of the erythrocyte membrane...

... followed implantation. 4. Hypokalaemia, polydipsia and suppressed plasma renin activity were evident by the fifth post-implantation day and persisted thereafter. No consistent change occurred in serum sodium. 5. Noradrenaline or angiotensin caused increases in total peripheral resistance at lower threshold...

... to adrenal cortical hyperplasia the range found was 26–542 pmol (8.7–179 ng). Ten of these twelve patients had values within normal limits. 4. Of nine subjects showing hypokalaemia, eight had elevated excretion of deoxycorticosterone with values from 263 to 5515 pmol (87–1820 ng) daily. Seven of these were...

...M. L. Levin; F. C. Rector, Jr; D. W. Seldin 1. Erythrocyte sodium concentration and fluxes were measured in patients with acid-base disturbances, hypokalaemia and hyponatraemia. Results were similar to those obtained with normal erythrocytes exposed to artificial in vitro alterations. 2...
