Abstract
PREVIOUS studies from this laboratory1,2 have indicated a deficiency of Na+ ion absorption from the gastrointestinal tract in cholera1, and an inhibition of Na+ transport in the short-circuited frog skin in the presence of cholera stool. We are studying animal models to elucidate intestinal mucosal cell function in cholera. A difference in function has been noted when Na+ ion transfer in the everted intestinal sac in vitro was compared with data from loops of the adult rabbit in vivo.
