Dissociation of digoxin-like immunoreactivity and Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity in rat plasma

Summary

We measured endogenous digitalis-like factor (EDF) in rat plasma during acute saline infusion by two different procedures. Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity in the rat plasma significantly increased during saline loading (7.8±2.2 vs 2.5±0.9%, with and without acute saline loading, respectively, p<0.05). On the other hand, the plasma digoxin-like immunoreactivity significantly decreased during acute saline loading (16.9±1.6 vs 32.0±2.8 pg digoxin equivalents/ml. with and without acute saline loading, respectively, p<0.01). These results indicate that the major substances detected by digoxin-like immunoreactivity and direct Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity are completely different, at least in rat plasma.
