Abstract
1.1. The effect of Na+and osmolality on influx of taurine and GABA, and steady state distribution of Na+, K+, Cl−, taurine and GABA, has been measured in flounder (Platichthys flesus) erythrocytes.2.2. A reduction in osmolality only, lead to a net release of taurine, GABA, K+and Cl−during the restoration of normal volume.3.3. Taurine and GABA influx was Na-dependent, a minor fraction was Na-independent.4.4. A reduced osmolality stimulated taurine influx.5.5. Present work supports the hypothesis that flounder erythrocyte taurine and GABA concentrations are controlled by factors correlated to plasma osmolality.
