Cell Volume Changes and Membrane Ruptures Induced by Hypotonic Electrolyte and Sugar Solutions
The cell volume changes induced by hypotonic electrolyte and sucrose solutions were studied in Chinese-hamster-ovary epithelial cells. The effects in the solutions with osmolarities between 32 and 315 mosM/L and distilled water were analyzed using bright-field and fluorescence confocal microscopy. T...
