1. Young and mature erythrocytes from 15 normal subjects were used to compare the sodium pump rate constant measured in whole blood with the more definitive sodium affinity constant and maximum velocity of the sodium pump measured in artificial media using sodium-loaded cells. 2. Similar values were obtained from both erythrocyte fractions for the sodium affinity constant and maximum velocity and also by using two different plots. The median error in the estimate of individual sodium affinity constants and maximum velocities from regression analysis was about 20% and the precision was not improved by combining the data points for the two erythrocyte fractions. 3. The rate constant in whole blood was closely related to the sodium affinity constant and maximum velocity of the sodium pump (r = 0.75), suggesting that it was a reasonable overall assessment of available sodium pump activity. 4. Differences in the rate constant between subjects were due to differences in both the maximum velocity and sodium affinity constant of the sodium pump so that the rate constant could not be used as a guide to the underlying sodium pump physiology.

1. Normotensive primigravid pregnant women were studied longitudinally during pregnancy and 20 weeks after delivery. 2. Erythrocyte sodium content, ouabain-sensitive sodium flux and sodium pump rate constant were measured in whole blood, and the maximum velocity and sodium affinity of the sodium pump were measured in vitro. 3. Erythrocyte sodium content decreased and the sodium pump rate constant increased up to 26 weeks gestation. The increase in rate constant was due to an increase in the affinity of the sodium pump for sodium up to 20 weeks gestation. After 20 weeks gestation there was an increase in maximum velocity and a decrease in sodium affinity of the sodium pump but no further change in the sodium pump rate constant. 4. At 14 weeks gestation the sodium pump rate constant was correlated with both the maximum velocity and sodium affinity constant. After this time the relationship was much more variable and there was no correlation with the sodium affinity constant. The comparison of measurements of the sodium pump in whole blood and in vitro gave no evidence of sodium pump inhibition. 5. The erythrocyte sodium pump changed throughout gestation with different components to the change, but, overall, available sodium pump activity in blood increased and sodium content decreased.
