- Title
Permeability of Membrane to Potassium in Hypochromic Red Cells with Different Specific Density.
- Authors
Vettore, L.; De Matteis, M.C.; Antonini, L.
- Abstract
In hypochromic anaemias (heterozygous β-thalassaemia and iron deficiency anaemia) lighter red cells lose more K+ than heavier ones, following incubation at 37 °C for 24 h. Both in the light and heavy fractions two subpopulations of cells with different permeability to K+ can be separated by a new centrifugation after incubation. On the basis of the results, a relationship between K+ permeability and probability of survival in hypochromic cells is suggested Copyright © 1977 S. Karger AG, Basel
