Fig. 4. The effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 0.5 mmol l1) on
in situ Na+/K+-ATPase activity (measured as
ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake) in kidney (A) and gill (B) tissue
incubated in the presence or absence of the nitric oxide scavenger
2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (PTIO; 1 mmol
l1). Samples were pre-incubated for 10 min before the
Rb+ uptake assay. Different letters indicate significant difference
(P<0.05). Values are means ± S.E.M. (N=8).
