## Abstract Electron probe xβray microanalysis was used to measure cytoplasmic elemental content (in mmoles/kg dry weight) of the basal layer of cells of the vaginal epithelium of ovariectomized rats. Measurements were made both before estradiol injection and at 2 hr, 17 hr, and 24 hr after estradi

Abstract
Fluoride, iodoacetate, oxamate, 2,4βdinitrophenol, cycloheximide, and ouabain were studied to determine if any of these inhibitors affected the intracellular concentration of sodium and potassium in an L cell strain of mouse fibroblasts and to determine if the changes observed in these parameters could be correlated with growth rate. The results indicated that (1) the intracellular concentration of sodium and potassium could not be correlated with growth rate, (2) fluoride, iodoacetate, oxamate, 2,4βdinitrophenol, and cycloheximide at concentrations having an equal effect on growth had a similar effect on the intracellular sodium and potassium concentration These changes were not as great as those seen with ouabain, which at a concentration which did not inhibit growth, had an equal or greater effect on the intracellular sodium and potassium concentration.
