Thin sheets of mucosa from small intestine of neonatal calves were mounted in incubation chambers for in vitro studies. These mucosal sheets generated a potential difference (PD) of 2.05 +/- 0.02 mV (mean +/- SEM), short-circuit current (SCC) of 23.32 +/- 3.81 microA x cm2, and tissue resistance of 86.22 +/- 4.41 ohms x cm2 (n = 6). Ouabain in the serosal bathing solution caused a sharp decrease in the SCC (P less than 0.01) and PD (P less than 0.005), a decrease in tissue K content (P less than 0.05), and an increase in tissue Na content (P less than 0.05). The mucosa responded to D-glucose by an increase in PD (P less than 0.001) and SCC (P less than 0.001). In vitro methods used in the calf were validated in similar experiments on rabbit ileum.
