Abstract
Hyaluronidase (30 U/ml) added from the mucosal side of the frog urinary bladder (pH 5.4, 25°C) is shown to increase the permeability of its wall for water and to shorten fibrillary structures of the apical glycocalyx. The hyaluronidase-mediated increase in osmotic permeability is smaller, and occurs later, than that produced by arginine vasopressin.
