Mucosal membranes from the small intestine of the dog were stripped and mounted for study between two bathing fluids, as previously described. The relationship between urea and water transport, including uphill movement of urea in the direction of water flow, was that expected from a combination of bulk flow and diffusion. If sieving was present, it was minor. Results for downhill movement of D2O, the isotopic water treated as a solute, were comparable to those for urea.
The relationships between luminal hydrostatic pressure and fluid transport by dog jejunum in vivo studied as a sheet in the Wells clamp were compared with quantitative predictions from a model proposed for the mechanism of the secretion produced by elevated venous pressure. According to the model, the secretion produced by increasing venous pressure and the secretion produced by negative luminal pressure are both passive filtrates contingent on a transepithelial pressure of a few centimeters of H2O. We consider that the agreement between the observed and predicted responses to luminal pressure provides strong support for the model. In particular, a) the observations displayed a predicted gross asymmetry in rates of fluid transfer with isotonic fluids depending on whether the luminal pressure was positive or negative; b) the observed magnitude of the negative luminal pressure required for the onset of secretion agreed with predictions; and c) the secretion contained significant amounts of protein at about 25% of the plasma concentration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
