Lymph Flow in Newborn Lambs : Effects of Change in Osmolality
… volume loading and alterations in body fluid osmolality cause rapid shifts throughout the body's fluid compartments in the adult dog. The lymph system has been found to be a vital link in the body's ability to compensate for excess fluid, and thus provides a strong defense against edema …

STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PANAMANIAN GOLDEN FROG (ATELOPUS ZETEKI) SPERMATOZOA – IMPACT OF MEDIUM OSMOLALITY AND CRYOPRESERVATION ON MOTILITY AND CELL VIABILITY
The Panamanian Golden Frog (Atelopus zeteki, Anura: Bufonidae), an endemic species from Panama, is critically endangered and believed to be extinct from the wild. Infectious disease, habitat destruction and pet trade are among the major causes of the populations decline. Conservation initiatives in …

Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Biological Effects of +4⁰C Acclimation on the Antarctic Teleost Trematomus bernacchii
… property they possess a uniquely high serum osmolality of -600 mOsm kg"1 which is nearly double that of temperate teleosts. Acclimation of the T. bemacchii to +4°C results in a 25% decrease in serum osmolality and a doubling of activity of the ion pump in the gill, the Na+,K+-ATPase, that is …

The Na/K-ATPase in the gills of Antarctic and New Zealand nototheniids: The Physiologic and Molecular Effects of Warm-acclimation.
… fish, living in -2°C waters, have a serum osmolality of « 600mOsm/kg nearly double that of temperate teleosts. The increase in serum osmolality is due to proportional increases in the Na" and CT concentrations as compared to temperate teleosts, including members of the same family. The …
