Abstract

Partial K+ loss by cell as a result of hypertonic incubation into 0.8-1.4 M sucrose solution has been established as contributing to an increase in erythrocyte osmotic resistance to hypotonic shock (50 mM NaCl solution). Cell sensitivity to a change in medium osmotic parameters after dehydration in valinomycine-containing non-electrolyte solutions (1mM final concentration) depends on a temperature of hypertonic incubation.
