RESUMO
The effect of a heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli was compared with that of theophylline on ion transport in the pig jejunum, using both in vivo and in vitro techniques. The maximal electrical response to heat-stable enterotoxin was only one-half that of theophylline even though the magnitude of the net secretory response was similar. A net, active secretion of HCO3 was partially responsible for the secretory response induced by heat-stable enterotoxin, whereas theophylline induced an active secretion of chlorine which could account for the entire secretory response. Heat-stable enterotoxin elevated tissue cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels, whereas theophylline elevated both cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels induced by heat-stable enterotoxin were markedly potentiated by theophylline. Results suggest that HCO3 secretion in the pig jejunum may be controlled by the cyclic guanosine monophosphate system and this system also activates a neutral secretory process which at high heat-stable enterotoxin doses accounts for the bulk of the net secretion observed. Conversely, the chlorine secretion elicited by theophylline is entirely electrogenic and is consistent with results obtained in other species.
