The osmotic fragility of mammalian erythrocytes in hypotonic solutions of sodium chloride

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1969
Abstract 1. 1. Erythrocyte fragilities, as defined in the context of this work, are reported for eight mammalian species. 2. 2. It is shown that the evaluation and comparison of cell fragilities can be simplified and made quantitative by the use of the probit transformation. 3. 3.

Clinical experience with a hypotonic oral rehydration solution in acute diarrhoea

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
A hypotonic oral rehydration salts (ORS) solution with total osmolality of 224 rnosmol/l was compared in an open clinical trial with an isotonic (osmolality 304 mosmol/l) ORS solution for the treatment of dehydration due to acute diarrhoea. Both ORS solutions had the same electrolyte composition with a Na+ concentration of 60 mmol/l. Children given the

Contractile Responses in Human Umbilical Arteries to Hyper- and Hypotonic Solutions

Journal of Vascular Research, 2008
The effects of hyper- and hypotonic solutions on vascular smooth muscle were studied using helical strips from human umbilical arteries. Hypertonic solutions evoked a biphasic contraction that consisted of early and late contractions. Verapamil or Ca2+-free conditions inhibited early contraction induced by tonicity of 340-539 mosm/kg.

Hypotonic solution decreases serum sodium in infants with moderate bronchiolitis

Acta Paediatrica, 2013
AbstractAimTo investigate the influence of hypotonic parenteral hydration on serum and urinary sodium and osmolality in infants with moderate bronchiolitis.MethodsWe studied 36 infants (mean age 3.7 ± 2.3 months), with a diagnosis of moderate bronchiolitis admitted to a paediatric emergency unit in São Paulo, Brazil.

[Intracranial pressure and hypotonic infusion solutions].

Der Anaesthesist, 2009
The physiological osmolality of plasma is 288+/-5 mosmol/kgH2O when measured by freezing-point depression. The theoretical osmolarity (290 mosmol/l) calculated from composition, osmotic coefficient (0.93) and water content (0.94) is practically identical.

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MAMMALIAN ERYTHROCYTES TO HEMOLYSIS WITH HYPOTONIC SOLUTIONS

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1937
Clinicians as well as physiologists have displayed interest in the varied susceptibilities to hemolysis by hypotonic solutions of the erythrocytes of different species of mammals and of human erythrocytes under different pathologic conditions. The variations have been somewhat vaguely ascribed to differences in "osmotic resistance" and in "permeability"

Differential Behavior of Glial and Neuronal Cells Exposed to Hypotonic Solution

1994
The comparative modes of swelling of glial and neuronal cells were examined by video-enhanced differential interference contrast (VEC) microscopy. When exposed to hypotonic solution, C6 cells swelled slowly to 5 times their normal volume and burst, whereas N18 cells swelled more rapidly, forming blebs, and then burst partially.
