Sulphate and Chloride-Dependent Potassium Transport in Human Erythrocytes are Affected by Crude Venom from Nematocysts of the Jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca

Sulphate and Chloride-Dependent Potassium Transport in Human Erythrocytes are Affected by Crude Venom from Nematocysts of the Jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca

Background: It has been reported that biologically active compounds extracted from Cnidaria venom may induce damage by oxidative stress. Erythrocytes are constantly exposed to oxidative stresses, which can contribute to sulphydril (SH-) group oxidation and cell membrane deformability accompanied wit...
