Popis: | The number and activity of Na+, K+ ATPase units were assessed with 3H-ouabain binding and 86Rb+ uptake methods, respectively, in erythrocytes from second-parity Holstein–Friesian cows at weeks 10 and 24 of lactation. The cows were either from S or C genetic lines for yield of milk fat and protein and were offered diets of either H or L forage content. The Scatchard method of analysis indicated that 3H-ouabain binding was compatible with a single class of receptors of high affinity. S-line cows had higher milk yields (P d) and the number and activity of Na+, K+ ATPase units. The number of enzyme units was higher at week 24 than at week 10 (P 86Rb+ uptake for groups CL and SH may reflect an imbalance between genotype and nutrient provision. Positive relationships were found between the number and activity of Na+, K+ ATPase units and the milk energy output (P +, K+ pumping that is required for enhanced milk productivity and suggests that the activity of erythrocyte Na+, K+ ATPase reflects the activity of this enzyme in other tissues during lactation.
