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 change, and then the total cGMP gradually decreased. cGMP first accumulated intracellularly and was then secreted. A roughly...
