Abstract

Retinol-deficient rat kidney microsomes revealed a threefold increase in the activity of ouabain-sensitive Na+,K+-ATPase compared with controls. Lectins such as concanavalin A and wheat germ lectin could stimulate the activity more in the control than in the deficient group. The enzyme was more susceptible to inactivation by freezing and thawing in the retinol-deficient than in the control group. Antioxidants like curcumin and ascorbic acid inhibited the membrane-bound enzyme in both groups. The significance of the results is discussed in relation to the effects of retinol deficiency on membrane structure and Na+,K+-ATPase activity.
