Abstract
Total crypt volume has been estimated by analysis of photographic images of intact viable crypts isolated from guinea-pig small intestine. Exposing these crypts to a hypotonic medium, led to transient swelling followed by regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in 12-20 min. RVD was blocked by inhibitors of K+ and Cl- conductance, suggesting that it occurs by activation of K+ and Cl- permeability pathways and loss of these ions.Entities:
