โœฆ Synopsis

The regulation of muscle fiber K + and free amino acid (FAA) concentrations during hypoosmotic stress was investigated in the moderately euryhaline crab Cancer irroratus. After 6 h of exposure to 60% ASW, muscle fiber K + concentration declined from 185 mM to 140raM. Following this, the blood glycine levels began to increase, indicating an FAA efflux from the cells. These data indicate that both muscle fiber K + and FAA contribute to cell volume regulation in C. irroratus. The early release of K + limits the initial rate of cell hydration. The subsequent efflux of glycine accounts for the volume regulation response of the muscle fibers. The cell volume regulatory system of C. irroratus is a coordinated use of both inorganic ions and FAA.

## Abstract The control of cell volume in tissues of crustaceans acclimating to salinity changes cannot be ascribed to a single mechanism; it results rather from different processes acting both at the cell level and at the blood level. The mechanisms at work at the cell level are discussed and some

Cardiac glycosides have been widely used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. The mechanism of their positive ionotropic effect is well characterized and is based on the inhibition of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. However, recently it has been discovered that circulating endoge
