title: Effects of vanadate on water and electrolyte transport in rat jejunum.
abstract: The effect of vanadate (orthovanadate, VO4-) on water and ion transport was studied in rat jejunum. Water transport was tested by single-pass perfusion in vivo and ion fluxes by the Ussing-chamber technique in vitro. The results suggest that vanadate has two actions on ion and water transport: At low concentrations (10(-4) M) it causes Cl-, Na+ and water secretion by stimulation of adenylate cyclase; At higher concentrations (10(-3) and 10(-2) M) it decreases net absorption of Na+ and Cl- by inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.
