Pressure-induced variations of K+-permeability as related to a possible reversible electrical breakdown in human
Experientia
|May 15, 1980
Abstract:
Above a hydrostatic pressure of about 600 b a pronounced reversible increase in the net K+-efflux from human erythrocytes is observed. The effect is explained in terms of an electro-mechanical compression of the membrane, resulting in a reversible breakdown of the membrane.
