Effects of high hydrostatic pressures on the movements of Na+, K+ and Cl− in isolated eel gills

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Hydrostatic pressure applied to isolated eel gills induces changes in the tissue, Na+, K+ and Cl− contents. It also inhibits the activity of the (Na++K+) ATPase. Results are discussed in terms of an effect of pressure on the Na+ and Cl− pumps and on the passive permeability processes.
