ELECTROLYTE FLUXES IN THE ISOLATED ILEAL LOOP.
Abstract
A technique is described for study of unidirectional transfer rate of electrolytes using radioisotopes of differing half lives. Ileal loops were inoculated with cholera vibrios and allowed to incubate for 4-20 hours. Transfer rates for lumen to plasma and plasma to lumen flux were determined in control and in infected loops. Diminution of sodium transfer from lumen to plasma in the infected rabbit ileal loop could not be demonstrated without a concomitant decrease in the lumen to plasma flux of potassium ion. (Author)
