Changes in net fluid transport (ΔNFT) induced by 4 mM deoxycholic acid (DCA) in the proximal and distal colon after pretreatment of animals with saline (control), atropine, or hexamethonium (Hx)
| ΔNFT | |||
| Control+DCA | Atropine+DCA | Hx+DCA | |
| Proximal colon | −50 (17) (8)* | −33 (9) (6)* | −35 (17) (6)* |
| Distal colon | −45 (27) (8) | 3 (8) (6) | −36 (21) (6) |
NFT is expressed in μl/(min/100 cm2).
n values are given in parentheses. *p<0.05.
A minus sign indicates net fluid secretion.
The control and hexamethonium values are taken from Sun and colleagues.15
