Dependence of Prolonged Water Absorption by in Vitro Locust Rectum on Ion Transport
1. An in vitro preparation of the locust rectum, consisting of an everted cannulated sac, is described. After the first hour, the rates of ion and water transport, the electropotential difference and tissue volume do not change significantly over the next 4 h, i.e. a steady-state situation is approximated. 2. The activities and properties of these rectal sacs are reasonably similar to those in ...
متن کاملEnergetics of proline transport in corn mitochondria.
The mechanism of proline entry into the matrix region of isolated corn mitochondria (Zea mays L. Mo17 x B73) was investigated by measuring osmotically induced changes of mitochondrial size (changes in A(520)) in combination with oxygen uptake measurements. Using NADH oxidation to generate the electrochemical gradient, we have determined that proline transport is stereospecific and that it can b...
متن کاملSodium-independent Active Transport of Potassium in the Isolated Midgut of the Cecropia Silkworm.
an equation containing n + 1 alternating terms and possessing more than one real root. As a consequence the function expressed by (40) takes negative values one or more times for different values of the independent variable, which is quite incompatible with the definition of the distribution function. In some exceptional conditions, omitted here, terms containing the exponential function of the...
متن کاملFurther Observations on the Regulation of Kc1 Absorption across Locust Rectum
1. Electrophysiological and tracer flux techniques were used to study regulation of KC1 reabsorption across locust recta. Physiologically high K levels (100 mmol I") on the lumen side stimulated net Cl flux and reduced the theoretical energy cost of anion transport under open-circuit conductions. 2. The stimulation of short-circuit current (I^, i.e. active C\~ absorption) by crude corpora cardi...
متن کاملThe Sodium/Proline Transporter PutP of Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is cause of chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and gastric carcinoma in humans. L-proline is a preferred energy source of the microaerophilic bacterium. Previous analyses revealed that HpputP and HpputA, the genes that are predicted to play a central role in proline metabolism as they encode for the proline transporter and proline dehydrogenase, respectively, are essential fo...
