title: Efflux of chloride from lactating rat mammary tissue slices.
abstract: 1. The efflux of chloride (using 36Cl) from lactating rat mammary tissue slices has been investigated. 2. Chloride efflux was found to be temperature dependent; lowering the temperature of the incubation medium reduced the fractional efflux. 3. The stilbene derivatives DIDS was without effect on the fractional release of Cl when studied at 20 degrees C. However, DIDS was found to attenuate the increase in efflux found upon transferring the tissue from a medium maintained at 4 degrees C to one at 20 degrees C. 4. The loop-diuretic furosemide, also reduced the temperature-sensitive portion of Cl efflux. 5. Chloride efflux was transiently increased when tissue slices were transferred from a medium containing gluconate as the principal anion to one containing Cl. 6. The results appear to confirm that mammary Cl transport is mediated via anion exchange and via (Na + K + Cl) cotransport.
