Intracellular sodium concentration was determined using the sodium sensitive dye SBFI. The ouabain (OUB, 100 µmol/L plus vehicle, VEH)increased intracellular accumulation, by inhibition of sodium efflux via NaKATPase, was linear over a 30 minute time interval. OUB + FEN (1 µmol/L) reduced Na+ accumulation (*P<0.05, N=6) in only the i14 (□) and i16 (x) coupled cell lines.
