title: A quantitative analysis of plasma osmotic pressure during metamorphosis of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana.
abstract: The plasma constituents contributing to osmotic pressure are, in decreasing order: Na+, Cl-, HCO3-, K+, glucose, amino acids, urea and protein. Plasma osmotic pressure increases from 180 mmoles/1 to 200 mmoles/1 throughout development.
