  1. Na+/K+ activity is expressed as micromole Pi per minute per milligram protein. Values = mean ± SD (n = 3 determinations).Values in the same column with different superscript letters differ significantly between different concentrations. Values in the row with different numeric superscripts are significantly different with duration within the same concentration; p < 0.05
