The ability of epithelial membranes to absorb and secrete salt and water is a subject of
considerable physiological importance. Although the detailed mechanisms involved are not …

The route of fluid transport across the wall of the rabbit gall bladder has been examined by
combined physiological and morphological techniques. Fluid transport was either made …

Osmotic water flows were measured acrossin vitro preparations of the rabbit gallbladder by
a gravimetric technique. The bladders exhibited asymmetrical osmotic behavior, in which …

The purpose of these experiments was to determine the effect of osmotic gradients on the
permeability of the rabbit gallbladder. Increasing the tonicity of the mucosal solution reduced …

Na/K-ATPase sites in both the secretory and reabsorptive epithelia of isolated and
microperfused human eccrine sweat glands are localized cytologically. Localization was …

We have studied the effect of dc currents and osmotic gradients on the conductance and
ultrastructure of the frog gallbladder. Passing current across the epithelium produces three …

Early electron microscope studies of the ciliary epithelium of the rabbit eye reported large
numbers of vesicles at the free surface of the non-pigmented cell layer (4, 7). Characteristically, …

The acute and chronic effects of amphetamine on locomotor activity, food intake, and weight
gain in the rat are not decreased by the absence of a normally functioning thyroid gland. A …

The structure of the ciliary epithelium of the adult albino rabbit has been studied by electron
microscopy. Material was fixed in osmium tetroxide and embedded in epoxy resins. Two …

The purpose of this investigation was to explore the effects of electrical gradients on the
permeability and structure of the load urinary bladder and to compare these results with those …
