| Abstract | 1. Intracellular pH (pHi) regulation in crayfish neurones was studied using pH-, Na+-, and Cl- sensitive micro-electrodes. Neuronal pH regulation has previously been studied only in molluscs. 2. The average resting pHi of crayfish neurones was 7.12 +/- 0.09, which is 1 pH unit more alkaline than that predicted were H+ ions distributed in equilibrium with the membrane potential. 3. When the cytoplasm was acidified (by NH4Cl loading, CO2 application, or HCl injection), pHi recovered towards its resting value. 4. Removal of Na+ from the external solution inhibited pHi recovery from an acid load by more than 90%. pHi recovery resumed immediately when external Na+ was reintroduced. 5. The resting intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) of crayfish neurones was 15-25 mM. During pHi recovery from an acid load, [Na+]i increased by 10-50 mM. 6. Reducing the external HCO3(-) concentration from 5 mM to 0 mM slowed pHi recovery by an average of about 45%. This slowing was appreciable even in cells in which Na+ removal almost totally blocked pHi recovery. 7. The resting intracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-]i) was 30-40 mM, indicating that these cells actively accumulate Cl-. During pHi recovery from an acid load, [Cl-]i decreased by 3-5 mM. 8. In the presence of the anion exchange inhibitor SITS (4-acetamide-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid), pHi recovery was slowed to the rate which was normally seen in HCO3(-)-free Ringer solution. SITS abolished the dependence of pHi recovery on the external HCO3(-) concentration. 9. It is concluded that pHi regulation in crayfish neurones involves two separate mechanisms: a Na+-dependent, HCO3(-)-independent acid extrusion process, and a Cl---HCO3(-) exchange which is probably also Na+-dependent. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
