The effect of aldosterone and the renin‐angiotensin system on sodium, potassium and chloride transport by proximal and distal rat colon in vivo.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The roles of aldosterone and angiotensin in the direct control of epithelial sodium transport in vivo have been investigated by measurement of electrical p.d. changes and of the fluxes of sodium, potassium and chloride in rat colon, an organ actively involved in electrolyte homoeostasis. Exogenous angiotensin and aldosterone were given by both short-and long-term infusions and endogenous secretion of the hormones was varied by dietary sodium variation and by nephrectomy and/or adrenalectomy.2. In vit… Show more

“…As previously described (1,19,22,31), adrenalectomy markedly depressed the rate of sodium absorption in proximal colon (Fig. 1) dry tissue, a value similar to that found in intact animals (P < 0.001 compared with adrenalectomy alone).…”

“…The normal rat colon has significant amiloride-resistant net sodium absorption which decreases markedly with adrenalectomy (1,2,5,15,16,(19)(20)(21)(22). This adrenal dependent sodium absorption could be under the control of circulating physiologic levels of glucocorticoid.…”

“…Distal colon Na+ absorption was not significantly depressed after adrenalectomy, although it was somewhat lower than control (Dolman & Edmonds, 1975); by contrast, JNa of the proximal colon was clearly decreased (Dolman & Edmonds, 1975), and JNa as well as Jv of the entire colon were lower after adrenalectomy (Bastl, Binder & Hayslett, 1980). Aldosterone in physiological amounts increased both JNa and Jv in adrenalectomized rats (Edmonds & Marriott, 1967).…”
