## Abstract Hyposmolarity (β30%) in cultured cerebellar astrocytes raised cytosolic Ca^2+^ concentration ([Ca^2+^]~i~) from 160 to 400 nM and activated the osmosensitive taurine release (OTR) pathway. Although OTR is essentially [Ca^2+^]~i~βindependent, further increase in [Ca^2+^]~i~ by ionomycin
During exposure to a hypotonic solution (55% osmolarity), cultured human epithelial (Intestine 407) cells exhibit a regulatory volume decrease after osmotic swelling. This process is known to involve parallel activation of volume-regulatory K + and C1-conductances. Biphasic increase in the cytosolic
The mechanism of Ca 2Ο© influx in nonexcitable cells is not known yet. According to the capacitative hypothesis, Ca 2Ο© influx is triggered by IP 3 -mediated Ca 2Ο© release from the intracellular Ca 2Ο© stores. Conversely, many workers have reported a lack of association between release and influx. In t
