The Mechanisms and Significance of Active Transport in Cellular Physiology
The Na⁺/K⁺ pump restores resting membrane potential after an action potential. Inhibition (e.g., by ouabain) stops nerve signaling. active transport
Diabetic drugs (SGLT2 inhibitors like empagliflozin) block glucose reabsorption in the kidney, lowering blood sugar. Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole) block gastric H⁺/K⁺-ATPase to reduce stomach acid. The Mechanisms and Significance of Active Transport in
