We studied the influence of the electrical gradient between the mucous and serous side on water and electrolyte transport in the rabbit distal ileum and proximal colon "in vitro". In the absence of a gradient, the absorption of water, sodium, chloride and bicarbonate rose in both ileum and colon, whereas potassium secretion tended to give way to potassium absorption.
