Serotonin-elicited inhibition of Cl(-) secretion in the rabbit conjunctival epithelium.
The effects of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] on the transepithelial electrical properties of the short-circuited rabbit conjunctiva were examined. With this epithelium, the short-circuit current (I(sc)) measures Cl(-) secretion plus an amiloride-resistant Na(+) absorptive process. Apical addition of 5-HT (10 microM) elicited a prompt I(sc) reduction from 14.2 +/- 1.2 to 10.9 +/- 1.2 mi...
متن کاملRegulation of water permeability in rabbit conjunctival epithelium by anisotonic conditions.
Effects of unilateral exposure to anisotonic conditions on diffusional water permeability of the isolated rabbit conjunctiva were determined. A segment of the bulbar-palpebral conjunctiva was mounted between Ussing-type hemichambers under short-circuit conditions. Unidirectional water fluxes (J(dw)) were measured in either direction by adding (3)H(2)O to one hemichamber and sampling from the ot...
متن کاملCl- secretory effects of EBIO in the rabbit conjunctival epithelium.
Experiments were conducted to determine whether the Cl- secretagogue, 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone (EBIO), stimulates Cl- transport in the rabbit conjunctival epithelium. For this study, epithelia were isolated in an Ussing-type chamber under short-circuit conditions. The effects of EBIO on the short-circuit current (I(sc)) and transepithelial resistance (R(t)) were measured under physiological ...
متن کاملOsmotic water permeability of Necturus gallbladder epithelium
An electrophysiological technique that is sensitive to small changes in cell water content and has good temporal resolution was used to determine the hydraulic permeability (Lp) of Necturus gallbladder epithelium. The epithelial cells were loaded with the impermeant cation tetramethylammonium (TMA+) by transient exposure to the pore-forming ionophore nystatin in the presence of bathing solution...
متن کاملPermeability of the isolated dog retinal pigment epithelium to carboxyfluorescein.
Outward (retina to choroid) and inward (choroid to retina) permeabilities of carboxyfluorescein and fluorescein in the isolated dog retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid were determined. Outward permeability was 9 and 47 times larger than inward permeability for carboxyfluorescein and fluorescein, respectively. The outward permeability of carboxyfluorescein was seven times lower than that of...
