Morphological changes and proton T1 of intracellular water in MEL cells exposed to osmotic stress. The MEL cells were incubated for 30 min at 0°C in osmotic buffers. a Observation of cell shape by a light microscope at room temperature. b T1 measurement by 1H-NMR at 25°C. Values are the mean ± SD for three independent experiments. Bars 15 μm
