Question

Ouabain is a highly toxic metabolite isolated from the bark of the ouabaio tree. If its toxicity is based solely on the complete inhibition of the Na+/K+ ATPase, how would this compound affect: (a) osmotic pressure of the cell; (b) cell volume; and (c) cotransport of glucose? Discuss the major osmolytes and molecular mechanisms involved in these effects.
