Abstract
The influence of wide interval of osmotic gradients on transepithelial potential differences through small intestine were investigated in rats. Ion permeability began to rise at osmotic pressures equal to 0.200-0.250 osmol on serosal side and 0.350-0.400 osmol on mucosal side. The variation in behavior of osmotic potential differences caused by flows directed from mucosal solution to serosal one and in the reverse direction at smaller osmotic pressure was shown. Observed features of behavior of osmotic potential differences were due to structural reorganization in intercellular junction.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
