Mucosal fluid, sodium and chloride transfer were measured in everted sacs of rat, guinea-pig and hamster jejunum, and in rat ileum and colon, and in guinea-pig gall bladder. After treatment of the animal with ovine prolactin, a highly significant enhancement of fluid and NaCl absorption was observed in rat, hamster and guinea-pig jejunum. Prolactin treatment caused a significant increase in fluid and NaCl transfer in rat ileum, but not in guinea-pig ileum or rat colon. Prolactin administration had no consistent effect on fluid and NaCl absorption by the guinea-pig gall bladder. The several regions of the mammalian gut appear to differ in their responsiveness to prolactin.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
