Abstract excerpt
We have used Ussing chambers to measure chloride secretion by colonic segments (mucosa, muscularis, and serosa) from various inbred strains of mice. We found lower theophylline-induced Cl- secretion in the DBA/2J than in the C57BL/6J strain. Their F1 showed significantly higher levels of Cl- secretion than did the C57BL/6J parental strain while colonic segments from five recombinant inbred B x D lines ranged...
