Osmotic Regulation in Aquatic Animals

OSMOTIC REGULATION IN AQUATIC ANIMALS. By August Krogh. Cambridge: At the University Press; New York: The Macmillan Company. 1939, pp. vii + 242, $4.00. To the series of Cambridge Comparative Physiology monographs, Professor Krogh has added a treatise on "the relations between concentrations of solutions, inside and outside cells and organisms." As Professor Krogh points out, there are wide div...

Abnormal osmotic regulation in trpv4-/- mice.

Osmotic homeostasis is one of the most aggressively defended physiological parameters in vertebrates. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying osmotic regulation are poorly understood. The transient receptor potential channel, vanilloid subfamily (TRPV4), is an osmotically activated ion channel that is expressed in circumventricular organs in the mammalian CNS, which is an important site of...

Osmotic regulation of airway reactivity by epithelium.

Inhalation of nonisotonic solutions can elicit pulmonary obstruction in asthmatic airways. We evaluated the hypothesis that the respiratory epithelium is involved in responses of the airways to nonisotonic solutions using the guinea pig isolated, perfused trachea preparation to restrict applied agents to the mucosal (intraluminal) or serosal (extraluminal) surface of the airway. In methacholine...
