Clarification needed: sodium depletion or rise in potassium?

[edit]

In "Function" section I read:

sodium can deplete, so Sodium–hydrogen antiporter gets sodium into the cell to begin with.

but SGLT imports in the cell glucose and sodium, thus I see no reason for sodium depletion.

On the other hand, it is stated that Na+/K+ ATPase exports sodium and imports potassium, thus I think the limiting factor should be rise in potassium concentration.

Someone with sufficient knowledge of this matter can clarify? Fornaeffe (talk) 16:00, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this section hard to follow, so I rewrote it. Hopefully it is now clearer and more accurate. Also this section is about mechanism, not function, so I renamed it. Boghog (talk) 06:20, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
