Table 3. Dependence of induced betaine uptake on Na+ and Cl.

Uptake (nmol (mg protein)−1 (10 min)−1)

Osmolarity(osmol l−1) Time(h) Total Na+ dependent Cl dependent
0.3 0.63 ± 0.09 0.49 ± 0.09 0.36 ± 0.10
0.5 6 1.79 ± 0.07 1.38 ± 0.15 1.04 ± 0.07
0.5 24 2.67 ± 0.02 2.12 ± 0.08 2.13 ± 0.05

The experiment was similar to that described in the legend to Table 1 but betaine uptake was measured and LiCl was used to replace NaCl for estimation of Na+ dependence. The values given are means (± S.E.M.) from 3 replicate measurements.
