“…The latter is generated by the loss of Cl − and K + ions along their electrochemical gradients followed by osmotically obliged water fluxes. Involved transporters probably are ClC-3 Cl − channels (Olsen et al, 2003; Cuddapah and Sontheimer, 2010; Lui et al, 2010), Ca 2+ -activated high conductance BK (Ransom and Sontheimer, 2001; Ransom et al, 2002; Sontheimer, 2008) as well as intermediate conductance IK K + channels (Catacuzzeno et al, 2010; Sciaccaluga et al, 2010; Ruggieri et al, 2012) and AQP-1 water channels (Mccoy and Sontheimer, 2007; Mccoy et al, 2010). To a lower extent, K + and Cl − efflux is probably also mediated by KCC1-generated cotransport (Ernest et al, 2005).…”
