The effect of inhibitors of renal transport on the small intestine.

Abstract
Nonelectrolyte transport were studied in everted hamster small intestinal sacs. Ethacrynic acid, a diuretic agent, significantly inhibited amino acid, glucose, and pyrimidine transport. Water and Na transport was impaired by both ethacrynic acid and chlorothiazide. Probenecid inhibited amino acid transport only. These observations provide further evidence of functional similarities between the kidney and the small intestine. The relationship of cardiorenal drugs to intestinal absorption was discussed.
