Figure 1. CRF induces elevations in FD4 flux in porcine ileum.
Porcine ileum was placed on Ussing Chambers and treated with CRF at increasing concentrations (0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 µM) and the rate of FD4 flux was measured over a 180-minute period. CRF at all concentrations induced elevations in FD4 flux (p<0.01) with the highest FD4 flux rates observed with 0.5 µM CRF. Data for each experimental treatment are expressed as means ± SE for n = 6−8 pigs. Symbols (*,†) differ from other treatments by p<0.05; ANOVA.
