Popis: Surfactants of diverse types, viz. dioctylsulphosuccinate, cetrimonium bromide, benzalkonium chloride, Lubrol$rG WX, Triton$rG X100, desoxicholic acid, cholic acid and glycodesoxicholic acid all affected jejunal transport of sodium and water in the same way as previously shown for dodecylsulphate: From hypotonic sodium chloride solutions, they inhibited net water absorption or induced secretion in a dose dependent manner; from hypertonic sodium salt solutions net sodium absorption was enhanced. The results indicate that, with increasing doses of surfactant, diffusion becomes increasingly important as the determinant of net sodium transport, suggesting that the surfactants cause increased passive permeability of the intestinal epithelium. Taurodesoxicholic acid caused inhibition when tested with hypotonic saline, and by analogy is assumed to act in the same way as the above mentioned surfactants. Some of the non-ionic surfactants tested did not influence jejunal transport.
