Where this comes from

Abstract

Blood specimens from a Thai man showed greatly increased time-dependent and temperature-dependent efflux of potassium from cells into serum. No in-vivo correlate was found, and no similar results were obtained in screening 131 other Thai men. Findings may be related to decreased Na,K-ATPase density or activity.
