RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 THE EFFECT OF ANESTHETICS ON THE UPTAKE OF RADIOACTIVE PHOSPHORUS BY HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 106 OP 115 VO 95 IS 1 A1 V. Pertzoff A1 C. L. Gemmill YR 1949 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/95/1/106.abstract AB 1. The rate of uptake of radioactive phosphate ions by human erythrocytes is a variable. It varies from individual to individual and in the same individual from day to day. This change seems not to be a function of food intake. 2. Sodium barbital decreases the rate of uptake of radioactive phosphate ions by the red blood cell. Certain quantitative conclusions were derived from experiments covering a large number of individual blood donors. 3. Ether has a retarding effect. Methadon (in very dilute solution) and urethane do not change the rate of uptake of phosphate ions by the red blood cell.
