Abstract

The kinetics of both swelling and shrinking of erythrocytes of the yellow-bellied marmot, golden-mantled ground squirrel, chipmunk, deer mouse, long-tailed vole, montane vole and western jumping mouse indicate that glycerol, ethylene glycol, urea and thiourea penetrate by means of facilitated diffusion.
