Abstract
This paper briefly reviews some aspects of the research on organic sol utes in osmolarity control and hydration changes of animal cells. It i s concerned with the nature of these solutes, their roles in acclimati on to hyperosmotic situations, the control of their concentration, and the sensing and signalling of osmolarity changes.
