Abstract

The methodological aspects of (Na⁺,K⁺)-ATPase-dependent uptake of⁸⁶Rb, a potassium analog, were examined on human lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood. The study of the time-course, the kinetic parameters, i.e., maximum velocity (V_max) and Michaelis constant (K_m) and the ouabain inhibition curve of⁸⁶Rb⁺ uptake confirm that circulating lymphocytes represent a suitable model for the study of (Na⁺,K⁺)-ATPase in human diseases. An application to human obesity is reported: the results indicate that⁸⁶Rb⁺ uptake on circulating lymphocytes is similar in obese and non-obese subjects. Therefore, (Na⁺,K⁺)-ATPase does not seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of human obesity.
