abstract：:The effects of the bacterial toxin Escherichia coli STa on electrogenic secretion in proximal, mid and distal rat colon were examined in vitro using the short-circuit current (Isc) as an index of secretion. All areas showed toxin-elevated Isc which was reduced by bumetanide. The proximal colon was the most sensitive (...
