Short-term studies of taurocholate uptake by ileal brush border membrane vesicles: anion effects.

Experiments allowing Na+-dependent short-term uptake measurements by ileal brush border vesicles were described. Glucose uptake was compared with taurocholate uptake in the presence of NaCl, NaSCN and Na2SO4. In contrast to the observation made with glucose, taurocholate transport was the same for the three electrolytes, indicating electroneutral taurocholate transport.
