## Abstract Variations in the high concentrations of intracellular amino acids in the tissues of osmoconforming, euryhaline animals such as the ribbed mussel (__Modiolus demissus__) appear to have a major role in adjusting intracellular osmotic pressure in response to extracellular osmotic change.
Compartmentalization of cellular amino acid pools occurs in cultures of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, but the factors involved in this are not clear. We have further defined this problem by analyzing the intracellular free leucine and the transfer-RNA-(tRNA)-bound leucine pool in cultures of sk
