Research Abstract

Potassium is one of the most abundant cation in the body, and plays a variety of physiological functions. This study aimed at elucidating the cellular mechanisms and regulation of intestinal K^+ transport. The results showed that; (1)in human study, urinary potassium excretion after potassium intake or potassium injection was accompanied by an increase in blood K^+, (2)in rat study using polyethylene glycol as an non-absorbable marker, ingested K^+ is absorbed mostly in the proximal jejunum probably mainly by passive diffusion. We have also demonstrated in in vitro studies that (1)active K^+ absorption occurs in the mouse ileum, (2)both active absorption and secretion of K^+ occur in the mouse distal colon. The active K^+ secretion in the distal colon was enhanced by beta-adrenergic agonists and dietary K load. In addition, the colonic H,K-ATPase responsible for active K^+ absorption was inhibited by a variety of ouabain-like substances. Finally, the colonic K^+ secretion was enhanced by aldosterone while the K^+ absorption was not enhanced.
