| Abstract | A sine wave method was used to measure transepithelial capacitance (C T) at 4.1 kHz (C HF T ). Model calculations show that C HF T reflects the equivalent capacitance of the series arrangement of apical and basolateral membrane capacitance. Cell swelling induced by reducing the basolateral osmolality from 260 to 140 mosmol/kg H2O (NaCl or sucrose removal) transiently decreased C HF T . The decrease in C HF T (ΔC HF T ) reached its maximum 30 s after the onset of cell swelling and a complete recovery of C HF T was attained within 3–4 min. ΔC HF T could be diminished by manoeuvres that reduced the rate or amplitude of cell swelling, i.e. lowering the temperature or treatment with low concentrations of glutaraldehyde (0.025%). ΔC HF T increased with the magnitude of the osmotic perturbation but saturated at large volume expansions. ΔC HF T increased with culture time. Electron micrographs showed a clear correlation between time course of C HF T changes and the closure of the lateral interspace (LIS). A striking correlation between the occurrence of C HF T recovery and the ability of the cells to develop a regulatory volume decrease (RVD) was found: Gd3+ (0.5 mM) inhibited both phenomena. The frequency dependence of C T was obtained from impedance spectra recorded over the range of 4 Hz to 22 kHz. These data agree with model calculations in which the contribution of the access resistance to the lateral membrane was included. All observations are consistent with the idea that ΔC HF T originates from the closure of the LIS during cell swelling. The latter phenomenon increases the access resistance to the lateral membrane, which results in a marked reduction of the basolateral membrane area detected at high frequencies with capacitance measurements. |

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.
