Seasonal changes in the electrical parameters of the small intestine, colon and bladder mucosa of land tortoises (testudo hermanni hermanni Gmelin)

M Gilles-Baillien et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

During hibernation of tortoises, a marked decrease in the short-circuit current together with an increase in the electrical resistance are observed across the small intestine, colon and bladder mucosa and D-aldosterone (which is decreased in the plasma) has no effect on these parameters.
