title: Intraluminal bile salt increases rate of firing in afferent fibers from the small intestine of the rat.
abstract: Perfusion of a rat intestinal segment with a solution containing sodium deoxycholate (8 mM) increases the rate of firing in periarterial afferent nerves from the gut. This observation indirectly supports our earlier proposal that bile salt evokes a net fluid secretion in the small intestine via an activation of the enteric nervous system.
