Eel intestinal epithelium when bathed symmetrically with normal Ringer solution develops a net Cl- current (short circuit current, Isc) giving rise to a negative transepithelial potential (Vt) at the basolateral side of the epithelium, lower in fresh-water (FW)-acclimated animals with respect to sea...
