title = "Cell Volume Modifies an ATP-Sensitive Anion Conductance in Cultured Hippocampal Astrocytes",
abstract = "Maintenance and regulation of cell volume are fundamental physiological processes. Previous data showed that swelling of cultured rat astrocytes in 220 mOsm medium activates an outwardly rectifying anion current. This current is considered to be mediated by a chloride channel that also conducts the amino acid taurine. The mechanism by which cell swelling activates chloride conductance is not clear; however, recent studies support an important role for extracellular ATP in swelling-induced amino acid efflux and anion current activation. Herein, we will examine the interaction between volume and ATP in cultured rat hippocampal astrocytes.",
