Evidence for increased in vivo sodium-potassium pump activity and potassium efflux in skeletal muscle of spontaneously hypertensive rats.
We have used 87Rb nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to study in vivo rubidium kinetics in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) controls, using rubidium as a marker for potassium. We gave 15 male, 13-week-old SHR, mean +/- s.d. blood pressure 180 +/- 10 mmHg, and 1...
