The effects of dipyridamole on potassium and sodium content of human red blood cells from normals or from patients with hypochromic anaemia, and of normal red cells pretreated with menadione, have been studied. Dipyridamole added to the incubation medium decreases the loss of potassium and the accumulation of sodium in all three types of red cells incubated at 37 degrees C for 24 h, either with or without calcium. The possible mechanism underlying these effects of dipyridamole is discussed. |
