“…Briefly, each sac (4 sacs for each condition) was made by tying one end of the segment, filling it with 1 ml/10 cm (of the segment) of Krebs bicarbonate solution (containing 120 mM NaCl, 4.5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO 4 1.8 mM Na2HPO4, 0.2 mM NaH2PO4, 1.25 mM CaCl2, 25 mM NaHCO3, and 5.5 mM glucose) and then tying the other end. The sacs were immersed in 40 ml of Krebs solution (containing 120 mM NaCl, 4.5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO 4 1.8 mM Na2HPO4, 0.2 mM NaH2PO4, 1.25 mM CaCl2, 25 mM NaHCO3, and 30 mM glucose) in a flask and incubated in a shaker bath (30 min, 37°C 40 rpm) (43). The sacs were then removed, blotted, weighed, and opened, and the changes of glucose concentration in their contents (serosal fluid) and the incubating media (mucosal fluid) were analyzed as described above.…”
