Abstract:
1. Silver stimulated short-circuit current and transepithelial potential difference. 2. Cysteine inhibited the silver-induced short-circuit current. 3. There was a dose-response inhibition of silver-induced short-circuit current by cysteine. 4. The silver-induced short-circuit current is carried by a net active sodium transfer from the outside to the inside bathing solution.
