## Abstract Glycine betaine is the end product of a two step oxidation of choline. Although glycine betaine is a common osmolyte in the cells of many species, the mechanism(s) regulating its synthesis in response to hyperosmotic stress has not been thoroughly studied in animals. We localized glycin
## Abstract Mitochondria isolated from __Crassostrea virginica__ gill take up^14^C‐choline and convert it to glycine betaine. Mitochondria from low salinity adapted oysters from both the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coast take up choline at similar rates, but the rate of glycine betaine synthesis is
## Abstract Using gravimetric and radiotracer techniques, we investigated the effects of mechanical stress, osmotic pressure, and temperature on the volumes of the intra‐ and extrafibrillar water spaces in arterial elastin. We also investigated the effects of temperature on water flow through elast
