The distal colon epithelium of rats submitted to chronic hypoxia shows higher short-circuit current (Isc) which, unlike non-hypoxic rat epithelium, has an amiloride-sensitive component despite low serum aldosterone levels. Isc and oxygen consumption (QO2) were simultaneously measured in mucosae from rats submitted to 0.5 atm for 10 days and from control rats in a modified Ussing chamber. Hypoxia increased Isc but not QO2. The slope of the regression line between Isc and QO2 reduction after ouabain addition was decreased in epithelia from hypoxic rats (P = 0.03). Chloride secretion blockade reduced Isc and QO2 in both groups, while sodium channel blockade did so only in the hypoxic group. Dual blockade in hypoxic rat epithelia caused correlated (P = 0.0025) additive decreases in Isc and QO2. Presented results suggest that chronic hypoxia induces an improved coupling between QO2 and electrogenic ion transport, and electrogenic sodium absorption despite low aldosterone levels.

Introduction: The colonic epithelium is a classical aldosterone target, but the effect of the hormone on the oxygen consumption rate (QO2 ) of this tissue is unknown. Objectives. We aimed at assessing, in the rectal epithelium of rats fed with diets of different sodium content, the effect of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blockade on short-circuit current (ISC ) and QO2 , and the acute effect of aldosterone incubation on ISC and QO2 .

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute and repeated immobilization stress on oxygen consumption (QO2) of the isolated interstitial rats' testes cells (ISC). The oxygen consumption by ISC testes was measured in vitro with a Clark-type oxygen electrode. Acute immobilization stress (2 h) induced decrease in QO2 (-49% V4, -31% V3) which was statistically significant (p<0.

Chronic hypobaric hypoxia is a physiological environmental stressor. While its effects on most major organ systems have been extensively studied, few works have addressed hypoxia-induced changes in intestinal transport. The effects of cyclooxygenase blockade with indomethacin on short-circuit current (Isc) and oxygen consumption (QO2) of the distal colonic epithelium of control rats and rats submitted to hypoxia for 10 days at 0.

Epithelial ion transport is dependent on ATP supply provided by aerobic metabolism. In the rat distal colon chloride secretion accounts for the largest portion of electrogenic transport measured as the short-circuit current (I(SC)). Inhibition of basal chloride secretion decreases epithelial oxygen consumption (QO2) in this tissue, while serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) proportionally increases both Isc and QO2.
