Abstract excerpt

The change in extracellular osmolarity from 0.07 osm to 0.38 osm caused rapid cell shrinkage and loss of pseudopodes in Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae and induced elevation of total (cellular + extracellular) cGMP with a 2.5-min lag. cGMP accumulation reached a peak at 10-15 min after the chang...
