Comparison of elemental concentrations in growth‐arrested airway smooth muscle cells with those in their proliferating counterpart showed that potassium (K + ) was significantly reduced, whereas concentrations of other elements sodium (Na + ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ), phosphorus (P), and chlorine (Cl − ) remained unchanged. Reduced K + concentration was associated with a change in the cells from a spindle shape to a flattened form.
