Dependence of serosal membrane potential on mucosal membrane potential in toad urinary bladder.
Ussing's model for sodium transport across epithelia assumes the existence of two barriers in series; the outer barrier behaves as a sodium electrode and the inner barrier as a potassium electrode (Koefoed-Johnsen and Ussing, 1958); furthermore, these membranes are supposed to be independent of one another. Although experimental determinations of the changes in transepithelial potential across ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Mucosal and Serosal Solution Cations on Bioelectric Properties of the Isolated Toad Bladder
The spontaneous transtissue potential and the DC conductance of the isolated toad bladder were measured when the tissue was exposed to sulfate Ringer's solutions of modified ionic composition. Na(+) was replaced to varying extents by (C(2)H(5))(3)NH(+), (C(2)H(5))(4)N(+), Li(+), Cs(+), K(+), or Rb(+). Reversible and irreversible changes were observed. The reversible changes were consistent with...
متن کاملSodium transport effects on the basolateral membrane in toad urinary bladder
In toad urinary bladder epithelium, inhibition of Na transport with amiloride causes a decrease in the apical (Vmc) and basolateral (Vcs) membrane potentials. In addition to increasing apical membrane resistance (Ra), amiloride also causes an increase in basolateral membrane resistance (Rb), with a time course such that Ra/Rb does not change for 1-2 min. At longer times after amiloride (3-4 min...
متن کاملMitochondrial and Plasma Membrane Potential Dependence
The fundamental myocellular uptake and retention mechanisms of hexakis (2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile) technetium(I) (Tc-MIBI), a technetium-99m-based myocardial perfusion imaging agent, are unresolved. Because of the lipophilic cationic nature of Tc-MIBI, it may be distributed across biological membranes in response to transmembrane potential. To test this hypothesis, net uptake and retention o...
متن کاملEffects of Alkali Metal Gations on the Potential across Toad and Bullfrog Urinary Bladder
Isolated urinary bladders of the bullfrog (R. catesbeiana) and the toad (B. marinus) were mounted in an Ussing chamber. Potential differences up to 114 mv were observed in bullfrog bladder when the mucosal surface was bathed in dilute Na(2)SO(4) and the serosal surface in sulfate Ringer's. In experiments with bullfrogs, K was used to replace Na in the mucosal solution and Na was used for K in t...
