TLDR
The characteristics of the inhibitory influence exerted by amiloride on active sodium transport by toad bladder and skin were taken advantage of to shed additional light on the mechanism whereby hormones-chiefly aldosterone-stimulate sodium transport across such epithelia.

Subcellular mechanisms in the action of adrenal steroids.

TL;DR: Understanding of receptor mechanisms, albeit incomplete, provides an explanation of steroid specificity and overlapping physiologic effects and enables us to design new and more potent steroid antagonists and to rationalize resistance or sensitivity of tumor cells to specific steroids.

Na+ transport by rabbit urinary bladder, a tight epithelium

TL;DR: The physiological significance of Na+ absorption against steep gradients in rabbit bladder may be to maintain kidney-generated ion gradients during bladder storage of urine, especially when the animal is Na+-depleted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osmoregulation and excretion

TL;DR: How knowledge in these areas of comparative physiology has expanded considerably during the last two decades is demonstrated, bridging seminal classical works with studies based on new approaches at all levels of anatomical and functional organization.

Effect of Changes in Transepithelial Transport on the Uptake of Sodium across the Outer Surface of the Frog Skin

TL;DR: The results support the view proposed previously that the sodium uptake is made up of two components, a linear component which is, essentially, not involved in transepithelial movement of sodium and a saturating component which reflects changes in tranzapithelial transport.

Effect of amiloride and some of its analogues of cation transport in isolated frog skin and thin lipid membranes.

TL;DR: The inhibition of short-circuit current in isolated frog skin and the induction of surface potentials in lipid bilayer membranes produced by the diuretic drug amiloride and a number of its chemical analogues was studied.

Ion transport in isolated rabbit ileum. i. short-circuit current and na fluxes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the serosa-to-mucosa flux of Na may be attributed to passive diffusion with no evidence for the presence of carrier-mediated exchange diffusion or the influence of solvent-drag.

Amiloride: a potent inhibitor of sodium transport across the toad bladder

TL;DR: Amiloride inhibits Na transport and short‐circuit current (SCC) across the toad bladder through mucosal and serosal channels and is 1000 times more active at the mucosal than serosal surface.

Stimulation of active sodium transport by the isolated toad bladder with aldosterone in vitro

TL;DR: These investigators have shown that, when an external potential is applied so as to, aldosterone is the principle immediately responsible for renal sodium retention and the isolated toad bladder was thought suitable for a more direct examination of the stimulation of sodium reabsorption by ald testosterone.
