Effect of monensin on osmotic water flow across the toad bladder and its stimulation by vasopressin and cyclic AMP
Abstract
The effects of the sodium ionophore monensin on osmotic water flow across the urinary bladder of the toad Bufo marinus were studied. Monensin alone did not alter osmotic water flow; however, the ionophore inhibited the hydrosmotic response to vasopressin and cyclic AMP in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effects of monensin were apparent when the ionophore was added to th serosal bathing solution but not when it was added to the mucosal bathing solution. The inhibitory effect of serosal monensin required the presence of sodium in the serosal bathing solution but not the presence of calcium in the bathing solutions. Thus, it appears that intracellular sodium concentration is a regulator of the magnitude of the hydrosmotic response to vasopressin and cyclic AMP.
