1)Intracellular Na ; upper values are for intact red blood cells. (Na mmole/ℓ rbc).

2)Na-K ATPase is ouabain sensitive Na efflux through Na-pump (Na mmole/ℓ rbc/hr).

3)Na-K cotransport is furosemide sensitive Na efflux through Na-pump (Na mmole/ℓ rbc/hr).

4)Na-passive is Na efflux through passive sodium channel in intact red blood cells.

Values in the same row not sharing the same superscript differ (p<0.05)

Values are means ± SD of 10 rats.
