[Exploration of the sodium pump of the erythrocyte by 22 Na and 42 K. II Effect of triamterene]. 1975

J C Bernard, and P Arnaud, and Y Lasne, and L Sann, and R Creyssel

The study of the effect of triamterene on the movements of sodium and potassium shows: the absence of influence of triamterene on sodium movements, and the decrease of the entry of potassium in red blood cells when the solution contains triamterene. This effect of triamterene might be one of those explaining the potassium-sparing effect of this product.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D011188	Potassium	An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
