Unidirectional Na+ and Cl- fluxes were studied in rats treated with S. typhimurium enterotoxin (S-LT). There was net absorption of Na+ and Cl- in the control group, while in the toxin treated animals there was net secretion of Na+ and Cl- (P less than 0.001). There was no change in the transport of D-glucose in the toxin treated group as compared to the control animals. The Na+, K(+)-ATPase pump was unaltered in the S-LT treated animals (198.67 +/- 11.23 nmoles Pi/mg protein/min) as compared to the control group (189.93 +/- 10.09 nmoles Pi/mg protein/min). There was no change in the unidirectional fluxes of Ca+2 in the S-LT treated animals as compared to the control animals, suggesting no change in the permeability of the S-LT treated intestinal membrane to Ca+2.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
