Der erythrocytäre Magnesiumstoffwechsel bei intakter und kälteinhibierter Glykolyse

Continuation of glycolysis in human erythrocytes by incubation of heparinized whole blood at 37°C is followed by a decrease in the Mg-content of red cells. On inhibition of glycolysis by cold (4°C), the Mg-content of erythrocytes remains unaltered or, often, slightly increases. These actions are in clear contrast to the behaviour of potassium ions under the same conditions.
