Abstract
The Na-K-ATPase activity of erythrocyte ghosts was increased in 6 patients with Cushing's syndrome compared with 28 control subjects (0.986±0.291 versus 0.259±0.1 µM Pi·h−1·mg−1,pi·h−1·mg−1,p<0.001). Die Strophan-thininsensible Mg-ATPase war bei beiden Gruppen gleich. Der Befund spricht für eine Aktivierung der Natriumpumpe an den Zellmembranen von Patienten mit Glukokortikoidexceß.
