Cell Volume and Sodium Content in Rat Kidney Collecting Duct Principal Cells During Hypotonic Shock
Figure 4
Effect of hypotonic medium on cell volume of OMCD principal cells
(representative curve). Cell volumes were estimated according calcein fluorescence intensity. : gradient signal from the valve: switch from
normal PBS 280 mM to hypotonic 0.5 PBS 140 mM, and back to normal PBS. (1) control normal PBS 280 mM. (2) peak of cell volume during swelling. (3) steady state in hypotonic 0.5 PBS 140 mM.
