Abstractβ-Actin mRNA levels in livers exposed to hypotonic perfusion (from 305 to 225 mosmol/1) for one hour are increased 2-fold relative to albumin mRNA. Like albumin, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and tyrosine aminotransferase mRNAs remain at the levels observed under normotonic conditions. The increase in β-actin mRNA is interpreted as a cytoskeletal response due to cell swelling
