Abstract

The fractional release of taurine from preloaded human placental tissue fragments was stimulated by a hypoosmotic challenge. This stimulation could not be attributed to a change in the Na+ gradient or the ionic strength of the medium. We suggest that taurine fluxes may play a role in placental cell volume regulation.
