milliosmolar1942
1942 J. L. Gamble Chem. Anat., Physiol. & Pathol. Extracellular Fluid (4th printing) The milliosmolar and milliequivalence values for the univalent ions are obviously identical. The chemical equivalence of the divalent ions is twice their milliosmolar value. The term milliosmolar is used instead of millimolar to make clear the additive osmotic effect of individual ions.
1969 Science 1074/2 The freezing point of a 100-milliosmolar solution is −0.186°C.
1982 Science 5 Feb. 670 Perfusion into distal tubules with a hypotonic solution (70 milliosmolar) elicited moderate decreases in glomerular pressure.
1997 Jrnl. Membrane Biol. 158 109 Collected fluid transferred by the epithelium is quasi-isotonic over a range of luminal osmolarities from 100 to 250 milliosmolar.
