Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated a raised Na(+) content in leucocytes isolated from women with pre-eclampsia. Increased Na(+)/H(+) exchanger activity is one membrane transport abnormality that may contribute to this phenomenon and may be implicated in the abnormal volume homoeostasis and hypertension associated with the disease. Increased Na(+)/H(+) exchanger activity has been documented in nucleated white...
