Role of aldosterone in the regulation of sodium and chloride transport in the distal colon of sodium-depleted rats

Abstract

Dietary sodium depletion with elevated aldosterone levels induces electrogenic, amiloride-sensitive sodium absorption and inhibits electroneutral sodium chloride absorption in the rat distal colon. To assess the role of aldosterone in the production of these changes, unidirectional 22Na and 36Cl fluxes were performed under voltage clamp conditions across isolated distal colonic mucosa of rats given continuous aldosterone infusions for up to 12 days. Aldosterone infusion for 7-12 days produced identical changes in both electrogenic sodium absorption and electroneutral sodium chloride absorption compared with dietary sodium-depleted animals. In contrast, aldosterone at 24, 48, and 72 h produced varying changes in ion transport: electrogenic sodium absorption progressively increased, whereas electroneutral sodium chloride absorption was initially augmented but then inhibited. Aldosterone induced active potassium secretion, demonstrated by a reversed short-circuit current after addition of amiloride, in all experimental groups. These results demonstrate that the changes in ion transport observed in sodium-depleted animals are produced by aldosterone, and that aldosterone not only stimulates electrogenic sodium absorption and potass...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
