Abstract
The transport ofNa ion across the omasum epithelium is generally mediated via two parallel working
mechanisms: the electrogenic transport, which is probably represented by the short circuit current
(Iso), and the electroneutral one, which is believed to be mediated via Na +m+ exchange (NHE) (I, 2).
However, addition of 1 mmol r' amiloride to the luminal side does not completely abolish the
electroneutral transport of Na (2). This observation could indicate that a) the concentration of
amiloride was not sufficient to abolish completely NHE, that b) an amiloride-resistant NHE or that c)
a further mechanism of electroneutral Na transport exist. It was therefore the aim of this study to
reinvestigate the electroneutral transport ofNa ion across the omasal epithelium and to characterise it
in more detail.
