Sodium transport inhibition by amiloride reduces basolateral membrane potassium conductance in tight epithelia

CW Davis and AL Finn

In toad and frog urinary bladder, electrophysiological data suggest that inhibition of transepithelial sodium transport by mucosal amiloride results in a decrease in basolateral membrane conductance. These results were confirmed by showing that amiloride addition caused a decrease in basolateral membrane potassium permeability.
