Ouabain inhibits the increase due to palytoxin of cation permeability of erythrocytes

Tóm tắt

We assume that the formation of nonspecific pores by palytoxin is linked with its surface activity. Further experiments should demonstrate whether ouabain prevents the binding of palytoxin to erythrocytes (“receptor hypothesis”), or whether an ouabain-sensitive hydrolysis of trace amounts of ATP (“metabolic hypothesis”) promotes the palytoxin effect.
