Sodium-independent Cl movement (ie, Cl-anion exchange) has not previously been
identified in the basolateral membranes of rat colonic epithelial cells. The present study …

A significant amount of ammonium () is absorbed by the colon. The nature of effects on
transport and transport itself in colonic epithelium is poorly understood. The goal of this …

Cholinergic agonists inhibit sodium and chloride absorption in the intestine and often
produce secretion. To determine the mechanism of cholinergic regulation of intestinal …

Cl− secretion in the colon can be activated by an increase of either intracellular Ca2+ or
cAMP. In this study we examined a possible interdependence of the two second-messenger …

The effect of epinephrine on transport of K+, Na+, Cl−, and HCO 3− across the rat colon was
studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Epinephrine (5× 10− 6 mol/l) induced a …

The colon has mechanisms for both absorbing and secreting water and electrolytes through
the epithelial transport systems. These transport systems are considered to play important …

Short-circuit current (I sc) and transepithelial conductance (G t) were measured in guinea pig
distal colonic mucosa isolated from submucosa and underlying muscle layers. Indomethacin …

The diarrhea associated with malabsorption of bile salts such as the secondary hydrophobic
taurodeoxycholate (TDC) may be partly explained by the TDC‐induced increase in colon …

Rabbit proximal colon (PC), examined in vitro, exhibits transport characteristics distinct from
distal colon. Unlike distal colon, PC does not demonstrate amiloride-inhibitable electrogenic …

Background and purpose: The protoberberine alkaloid berberine has been reported to
inhibit colonic Cl− secretion. However, it is not known if other protoberberine alkaloids share …
