Abstract:
The impact of the osmotic component of the incubation medium for the volume of mouse early embryonic cell was studied by laser scanning microscopy. Common Dulbecco's medium caused a prolonged hyperosmotic effect. Adaptive phase of regulatory compensation for the osmotic shock was observed under hypotonic conditions. From these data, water permeability of the blastomer membrane is evaluated as 0.4 micro/(minxatm).
