Abstract:
Effect of low ionic force on the passive transport of univalent cations through the erythrocyte membranes is considered. It is postulated that this effect is complex and cannot be explained on the basis of electrodiffusion. Data are presented on the already known transport pathways in the erythrocyte membranes for univalent cations. Characteristics of residual cation transport (the "leak" flux) through the erythrocyte membranes also affected by the low ionic force are presented.
