## Abstract The effects of ion substitutions on the Cl^β^ secretion rate and tissue conductance of isolated shortβcircuited opercular epithelia from seaβwaterβadapted __Fundulus heteroclitus__ were investigated. Serosal Na^+^ substitution had the same effect on the Cl^β^ secretion rate that serosal
The epithelial cells of the choroid plexus secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), by a process that involves the movement of Na(+), Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) from the blood to the ventricles of the brain. This creates the osmotic gradient, which drives the secretion of H(2)O. The unidirectional movement of th
The isolated, short-circuited opercular epithelium of Fundulus heteroclitus, secretes Cl- by a mechanism dependent on the presence of serosal Na+ and inhibited by bumetanide and furosemide. Under serosal Na+-free conditions the active Cl- secretion is abolished. However, subsequent elevations of int
