title: USe of tissue culture medium for in vitro studies on the ion transport capacity of amphibian epithelia.
abstract: The sodium transport capacity across frog skin and toad bladder in vitro is enhanced when a tissue culture medium is used to mount the preparations, instead of the classic Ringer solution. The response to antidiuretic hormone used 24 h after isolating the tissues is also higher in preparations incubated in the same culture medium.
