Abstract
OUABAIN has been shown to inhibit electrolyte transport in a number of tissues, including erythrocytes1,2, brain and kidney3,4. Ouabain also inhibits that adenosine triphosphatase obtained from membrane and sub-cellular preparations which is stimulated by sodium plus potassium ions5–7. Recent work has shown that this enzyme must play an important part in the mechanism of active ion transport7–10.
