Figure 1. Osmosensitive release of GSH from rat thymocytes.

Figure 1

(A) Dependence of the GSH concentration in the extracellular fluid on the number of cells in suspension under control isotonic (290 mosmol/kg-H2O) conditions (filled symbols) and upon hypotonic (147 mosmol/kg-H2O) stimulation (open symbols). The cells were incubated 10 min at 25oC. (B) Time course of GSH release from rat thymocytes under control isotonic conditions (filled symbols) and upon hypotonic (147 mosmol/kg-H2O) stimulation (open symbols). The suspension containing 1 x 108 cells/ml was incubated at 25oC for the indicated time. (C) Osmolality dependence of GSH release from rat thymocytes. The suspension containing 1 x 108 cells/ml was incubated at 25oC for 20 min in solutions with various tonicity. *Significantly different from the isotonic control values at P<0.05.
