Summary

ISOLATED HEPATOCYTES HAVE BEEN USED TO STUDY CHANGES IN MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY DURING A FREEZE/THAW CYCLE. ON COOLING FROM 310 K (37 DEG C) TO VARIOUS INTERMEDIATE TEMPERATURES DOWN TO 253 K (-20 DEG C) THEREWAS A TREND FOR INCREASE IN CELL SODIUM AND WATER CONTENT, REACHING SIGNIFICANCE AT 263 K (-10 DEG C). MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY TO SUCROSE ALSO INCREASED BY A SMALL BUT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT ON COOLING BELOW 263 K.
