Abstract
A correlation was found between membrane fluidity, sialic acid (SA) content and Na + , K + ‐ATPase activity in the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss erythrocyte membrane and this suggests that alterations in erythrocyte Na + , K + ‐ATPase activity might be caused by modified membrane fluidity through modified SA content.
