Kinetic and pharmacological characteristics of Ca2+ fluxes across the saccular epithelium of trout were studied using a perfused isolated inner ear. 45Ca2+ influx from the Ringer solution to the endolymph was 3-4 nmoles h-1μl-1 endolymph, which corresponds to a global turnover rate of the endolymph...
