title: Modulation of Na and Cl transport by mineralocorticoids.
abstract: 1. The epithelia of the hen lower intestine show a Na-channel, Na-cotransport, chloride cells, and chloride absorption and secretion. 2. The short circuit current is affected by low salt levels, amiloride, glucose, lysine, leucine, galactose, ouabain, bumetanide, aldosterone, dexamethasone and spironolactone. 3. The properties of the different sodium and chloride channels are described.
