Abstract:
Hydrogen peroxide destroyed the Na+/Mg2+ antiport in Mg(2+)-loaded human and rat erythrocytes and increased the leakage of intracellular Mg2+ and K+. These effects are opposite to the increase of Na+/Mg2+ antiport and unchanged Na(+)-independent Mg2+ efflux from erythrocytes of patients with cystic fibrosis score 3. Thus, the increase of Na+/Mg2+ antiport in these patients is not caused by increased formation of free radicals.
