Abstract
Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells of confluent epithelial sheets grown on permeable supports respond to hyperosmotic stress by short- a nd long-term regulatory volume increase (RVI). Although shortterm RVI includes the uptake of inorganic electrolytes, long-term RVI does not and seems therefore to result from accumulation of organic osmolytes.
