Ionic transport across corneal endothelium

Abstract
The active potential difference across bovine corneal endothelium was measured in vitro at different temperatures, pH, osmolality and salt compositions. The measurements were made using either identical or different solutions on each side of the membrane. The experimental results are consistent with a model in which Ag is actively transported into the intercellular cleft. Na+ reenters the cell electroneutrally by coupled cotransport with carbonate, derived from HCO-3 in the solution.
