A, effect of Cd2+ on swelling-activated d-[3H]aspartate release. Cells were exposed to hypoosmotic medium for 10 min, as indicated, in the presence (□) or absence (▪) of 300 μm Cd2+. Data are means ± s.e.m. of 5–6 experiments. NS, not significant (P = 0.294), Cd2+versus control, repeated measures ANOVA. B, effect of 300 μm Cd2+ on swelling-activated Cl− currents. Representative of 6 electrophysiological recordings.
