title: Effect of ouabain on volume regulation of rabbit kidney cortex slices in hypo-osmotic media.
abstract: The volume regulation process at work in rabbit kidney cortex slices submitted to hypo-osmotic media show both a swelling limitation and a volume readjustment phase. Swelling limitation is Na+ dependent and is blocked by ouabain 10(-3) M. There is, however, no need to implicate the activity of a ouabain sensitive Na+ /K+ pump in this process.
