Thallium uptake by canine iliac arteries

Journal Article · · Hypertension (Dallas); (United States)
Most of the thallium uptake by canine iliac arteries (70%) was inhibited by ouabain. The component sensitive to ouabain was significantly increased by incubating tissues in K/sup +/-free solution and reduced by low temperatures, metabolic inhibitors, and loading with lithium. The apparent Km for thallium for the ouabain-sensitive uptake was 0.47 +/- 0.046 mM. External K/sup +/ inhibited thallium uptake and the apparent Ki was estimated to be 6.5 mM. Thallium thus appears to have a greater affinity for the ouabain-sensitive components. The residual component of thallium uptake was unaffected by maneuvers that affected the ouabain-sensitive uptake, which thus appears to be a suitable indicator of Na/sup +/ pump activity in vascular smooth muscle.
