Abstract
MANY investigations have been made attempting to relate the potassium content and transport in red blood cells to the glycolytic activity of the cells1,2. Such investigations have utilized red blood cell suspensions which have been stored at low temperatures in order to obtain partial depletion of the cells with respect to potassium.
