Abstract
Colonic crypt cells, depending on regulatory influences such as neurot
ransmitters and hormones, can absorb or secrete NaCl. The large change
s in absolute rates of transport, multiplicity of regulatory pathways,
and complete reversal of vectorial transport in these cells pose intr
iguing questions. Some of these questions have been examined recently;
most answers complete surprise.
