## Abstract Cellular volume and potassium contents were determined in rat astrocytes from primary culture following suspension in isoosmotic (269 mOsm) and hypoosmotic (136 mOsm) phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) containing various potassium concentrations. Within 1 min of suspension in hypoosmotic P

The ''glial impairment hypothesis'' states that astrocytes which change from normal into the reactive type lose their ability to clear extracellular K Ψ‰ , which in turn leads to hyperexcitability in the gliotic tissue. As this hypothesis was never proven or disproven, the question of glial efficienc

Intracellular changes of K f , Na', and Cl-were investigated by the aid of radiotracers in primary cultures of astrocytes when extracellular K f was (1) increased from 3 to 12 mM and subsequently again decreased to 3 mM; and (2) increased from 5.4 to 54 mM with subsequent decrease to 5.4 mM. In both
