    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Exocrine glands secrete proteins and salt by altering cell membrane permeability. This process involves ion channels sensitive to intracellular calcium ions (Ca2+), crucial for fluid secretion regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cellular Biology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Exocrine glands are vital for extruding proteins and salt.
    • Fluid secretion relies on modifying secreting cell membrane permeability.
    • This change is measurable via ion fluxes or membrane conductance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of ion channels in exocrine fluid secretion.
    • To explore the function of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) as a second messenger.
    • To present models for ion channel involvement in secretion.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing patch-clamp technique for cell recordings.
    • Measuring labelled ion fluxes and membrane conductance.
    • Analyzing ion channel selectivity (K+, Cl-, monovalent cations).

    Main Results:

    • Identified three types of Ca2+-sensitive ion channels activated by secretory agents.
    • These channels are selective for K+, Cl-, and positively charged monovalent ions.
    • Intracellular Ca2+ acts as a second messenger in electrical responses.

    Conclusions:

    • Ion channels play a key role in exocrine secretion.
    • Models are proposed for channel function in the secretion process.
    • Further research is needed on in vivo cell function, fluid composition, and blood circulation exchanges.
