Peptides increase anion conductance of canine trachea: an effect on tight junctions
Abstract
The ionic basis for the rapid reduction in potential difference (dip) produced on luminal addition of substance P and related peptides was analysed by altering the electromotive force and chemical gradients across the isolated, canine tracheal epithelium. The dip could be exaggerated, minimised or reversed by increasing, decreasing or reversing the basal potential difference, and the intercept of the line relating the two was close to zero when …
