[The effect of aspirin and indomethacin on intracellular pH and on the activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter in neutrophils].

Abstract

Using microfluorometry, aspirin and indomethacine effects on intracellular pH and Na+/H+ neutrophilic antiporter activation were studied. Aspirin and indomethacine were shown to decrease intracellular pH of quiescent neutrophil cells. Aspirin completely blocked basifying of cytoplasm, which is resulted from Na+/H+ neutrophilic antiporter activation.
