Popis: Na+/H+ exchangers (NHE) mediate at least part of Na+ entry into gill epithelia via Na+/NH4+ exchange. For homeostasis, Na+ entry into and exit via Na+/K+ ATPase from gill epithelia must balance. Na+/K+ ATPase activity is reduced in cold- compared to warm-acclimated freshwater temperate fish. We hypothesized gill NHE activity is greater in warm- than cold-acclimated fish when measured at acclimation temperatures, and NHE activity displays a temperature dependence similar to Na+/K+ ATPase. Since NHE mRNA expression does not differ, we measured the Na+-dependence of pH-induced Na+ fluxes in gill vesicles from warm- and cold-acclimated fathead minnows at 20o and 7 °C, and calculated maximum transport rates (Vmax) and Na+ K1/2s. We also measured NH4+-induced Na+ fluxes and Na+-induced H+ fluxes. In vesicles from warm-acclimated fish, NHE Vmaxs were 278 ± 33 and 149 ± 23 arbitrary unit/s (au/s) and Na+ K1/2s were 12 ± 4 and 6 ± 4 mmol/l when assayed at 20o and 7 °C (p
