Magnesium transport in ferret red cells

The Journal of Physiology

Abstract

1. Mg2+ efflux from ferret red cells into a nominally Mg2(+)-free medium is 41 +/- 2 mumol (l cell)-1 h-1. The properties of Mg2+ transport can be measured in these cells without the need for Mg2+ loading. 2. Amiloride, quinidine, imipramine and external divalent cations partially inhibit Mg2+ efflux. Maximal inhibition by these agents is about 60-70% suggesting that at least two Mg2+ transport pathways exist. 3. As external Na+ is replaced by choline or N-methyl-D-glucamine Mg2+ efflux is first stimulated, reaching a peak when external [Na+] ([Na+]o) is about 10 mM, and then inhibited. Mg2+ transport reverses direction so net Mg2+ uptake occurs when [Na+]o is reduced below 1 mM. 4. Mg2+ efflux is stimulated when 0.1 mM-EDTA is added to the medium only when [Na+]o is low. 5. Reduction of cell ATP content to about 20 mumol (l cell)-1 by treating cells with 2-deoxyglucose stimulates Mg2+ efflux measured over the 2 h period following depletion. 6. Substantial Mg2+ influx can be observed in ferret red cells when they are incubated in media containing 10 mM-Mg2+. Influx is stimulated by reducing [Na+]o to 10 mM. Further reduction of [Na+]o to below 1 mM reduces Mg2+ uptake. A component of uptake is inhibited by external Co2+. 7. Na(...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
