In vivo and in vitro studies showed that electrogenic sodium transport in rabbit distal colon is modulated by aldosterone. It varies in a circadian rhythm; the external synchronizer is the light-dark cycle. The site of regulation was found to be in the apical membrane of colonic epithelial cells, in which the number of conducting sodium-channels is increased by aldosterone.
