| Abstract | By salt depleting the animals or by injecting them with aldosterone, I was able to increase the active transport of sodium across the isolated skin. The potential difference was increased by 37% and 43% respectively and the net sodium flux by 69% and 62%. Exposure of frogs to 50 mM NaCl did not produce a significant change in the rate of sodium transport. Although the resistance of the skins did not show a significant change as a result of the treatments, they did show trends. The skins from salt-depleted and aldosterone injected frogs are less resistant than the controls. There was no correlation between the cholinesterase activity in the skin and the rate of active transport of sodium across the skin. |
