Abstract
In toad and frog urinary bladder, electrophysiological data suggest that inhibition of transepithelial sodium transport by mucosal amiloride results in a decrease in basolateral membrane conductance. These results were confirmed by showing that amiloride addition caused a decrease in basolateral membrane potassium permeability.Keywords
