  • Title: Amiloride-induced stimulation of HCO-3 reabsorption in turtle bladder.
    Author: Ehrenspeck G, Durham J, Brodsky WA.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1978 May 18; 509(2):390-4. PubMed ID: 656418.
    Abstract:
    Amiloride in the mucosal fluid (at concentrations of 5 . 10(-6) M to 10(-4) M) reversibly stimulates the HCO-3-dependent moiety of the short-circuiting current (Isc) in ouabain-treated turtle bladders bathed by Na-free Ringer solutions with or without Cl-. This effect is uniquely different from the known inhibitory effect of this agent on Na+ transport. Thus, any comprehensive hypothesis on the action of amiloride over a wide dosage-response range should take into account its effect on HCO-3 transport.
