1. The effect of variations in extracellular osmolality from 249 to 345 mosmol/kg upon the sodium, potassium and water content of human leucocytes has been studied. 2. Similar studies were performed using human erythrocytes. 3. Changes in the leucocyte water content were not explicable in terms of passive movement of water across an ‘ideal’ semi-permeable membrane. 4. Hypo-osmolal swelling was associated with a rise in intracellular sodium content and hyperosmolal shrinkage was associated with a fall in intracellular sodium content. 5. There were no significant changes in sodium and potassium content of the erythrocyte with altered external osmolality.

Adrenal Hypertension

The ionic composition of the aorta of the rat was studied in ‘postdesoxycorticosterone’ hypertension, ‘adrenal regeneration’ hypertension, and the hypertension which persists after excision of an ischemic kidney. The development of hypertension as a result of each of these procedures was associated with an increase in intracellular sodium and potassium content of the aorta. These findings are similar to those obtained in other forms of experimental hypertension. If similar compositional changes occur in arterioles, they may be important in the altered peripheral vascular resistance which characterizes hypertension.
