Transmural Potential Difference, Short-circuit Current and Sodium Transport in Isolated Rabbit Ileum

Abstract

THIS communication is concerned with the measurement of the transmural potential difference, the short-circuit current, and the net sodium flux in isolated segments of rabbit ileum using a method similar to that described by Ussing and Zerahn1.
