## Abstract A major function of glial cells is the control of osmotic and ionic homeostasis, mediated by K^+^ and water movements predominantly through inwardly rectifying K^+^ (Kir) and aquaporin water channels. It has been suggested that K^+^ currents through Kir channels are implicated in the re
## Abstract High blood ammonia, elevated glutamine, and hyponatremia are pathogenic factors contributing to astrocytic swelling and brain edema in liver failure. We investigated the effects of hypoosmolarity, ammonia, and glutamine on the induction of glial cell swelling in freshly isolated slices
