Abstract
Freeze-fracture electron microscopy demonstrates that vasopressin stimulati on of isolated toad bladder alters the structure of the luminal membrane of granular cells. This alteration consists of an ordered aggregation of intr amembranous particles, and appears to be of functional significance, since the frequency of aggregation sires per area of membrane is closely correlat ed with vasopressin-induced osmotic water flow.
