[The effect of hypothermic stress on Na,K-ATPase activity in rat erythrocytes].

Abstract

After 3-hr cooling stress, the activity of the erythrocytes' Na,K-ATPase was decreased by 28.9 per cent in rats, its complete restoration occurring within 24 hours after the stress. Possible reasons and factors inducing a disorder in the enzyme activity under conditions of hypothermia, are discussed.
