A correlation between gland stiffness and electrical cell coupling in the salivary gland of Chironomus plumosus was studied by electrophysiological and mechanical measurements. Local anaesthetics, such as alcohols, procaine and chlorpromazine increased gland stiffness. On the other hand, agents influencing cell membrane components, such as glycoletherdiaminetetraacetic acid (EGTA), lipase, trypsin, butylic acid and tetraethylammonium (TEA) decreased gland stiffness. These agents all produced intercellular uncoupling at high concentrations. Alkaline and low medium temperature led to increased gland stiffness and junctional uncoupling. Acid and high medium temperature induced decreased gland stiffness and junctional uncoupling. It was found that gland stiffness had an optimum range (11-27 dyne/cm) for maintenance of cell coupling.
