Transmural electrical potential difference of the human colon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrical potential across the human colon was measured by a technique which accurately reflects the true mucosa-to-serosa potential difference. Large negative mucosal potentials were recorded from all regions. The potential difference of the sigmoid colon was significantly greater than that of the rectum. The technique may have important applications to the further study of normal or abnormal colonic function.

Electrical Potential Differences and Electromotive Forces in Epithelial Tissues
Dear Sir: Studies on intracellular electrical potentials in a variety of epithelial tissues which are involved in transmural Na transport have resulted in an apparent dichotomy. In tissues characterized by high transmural resistances such as isolated frog skin (1, 2), toad skin (3), and toad urinary bladder (4), the cell interior is electrically positive with respect to the outer or mucosal sol...
متن کاملRegional and transmural density of interstitial cells of Cajal in human colon and rectum.
The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are thought to play an important role in the control of gut motility. The regional and transmural pattern of distribution of ICC in the normal human colon and rectum was evaluated with immunohistochemistry using an anti-c- kit antibody. The transmural distribution of ICC was constant throughout the whole colon, the density of ICC was significantly greater a...
متن کاملTreatment of Colon Carcinoma Tumors by Electrolysis: Effect of Electrical Dose and Polarity
Introduction: As a physical treatment, electrochemical therapy (ECHT) has provided an effective and useful approach for treating localized tumors. The chemical changes due to a direct electric current destroy the tumor. This study evaluates the effect of electrical dose and polarity on the efficacy of the treatment of a colon tumor model. Materials and Methods: In order to in...
متن کاملNa+-K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase and intestinal electrolyte transport. Effect of adrenal steroids.
Sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) is associated with electrolyte transport in many tissues. To help delineate its role in intestinal transport, changes in rat intestinal electrolyte and water transport induced by injecting methylprednisolone acetate 3 mg/100 g or deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) 0.5 mg/100 g per day for 3 days were correlated with changes in Na...
متن کاملEffects of Lactobacillus plantarum A7 with probiotic potential on colon cancer and normal cells proliferation in comparison with a commercial strain
Objective(s): Several beneficial effects have been attributed to the probiotic lactic acid bacteria. It was determined that lactobacilli can exert antiproliferative effects on the various cancer cell lines including colon cancer. Effects of lactic acid bacteria on colon cancer may vary from strain to strain and there is a need to find the new probiotic strains with tumor suppressing properties ...
