Transmural wall resistance (Rt) as well as epithelial (Re) and subepithelial (Rsub) resistance portions as determined by impedance spectroscopy. Rt/Re is the correction factor of active transport rates (eg, Isc values) for Rsub contributions as described under the Results section. Mannitol flux (JMan) was measured as unidirectional flux in m‐to‐s direction in the Ussing chamber. All data represent means (SEM).
