Lack of Restoration in Vivo by K+-Channel Modulators of Jejunal Fluid Absorption after Heat Stable Escherichia coli Enterotoxin (STa) Challenge

Figure 1

The effect on control jejunal fluid uptake ( )   in vivo of luminal perfusion with 80 ng/mL E. coli STa alone ( ) and also STa in the presence of 300 uM ( ) luminal glibenclamide, 30 uM luminal clotrimazole ( ), and 1 uM luminal cromakalim ( ). Results are presented as the mean and standard error of the mean. Perfusion with STa caused a significant ( ) reduction in fluid uptake that was unaffected by the luminal addition of the potassium channel active agents.
