Abstract

Regulatory decrease in thymocyte volume under conditions of osmotic stress was abolished by potassium and chlorine channel blockers. Osmotic stress-activated chlorine channels belong to 2 pharmacological types. The maxi-anion channel is sensitive to Gd(3+). The volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying chlorine channel is inhibited with glybenclamide and phloretin.
