    Main Results:

    • Successfully detected and quantified a distinct sodium transport pool.
    • The pool accounts for approximately 20% of non-inulin space sodium.
    • Cellular sodium measurements align with electron microprobe data, averaging 10-16 mmol/kg tissue H2O.

    Conclusions:

    • The sodium transport pool is a quantifiable entity within epithelial cells.
    • This pool represents the total sodium influx from the mucosal medium.
    • The findings provide critical data on epithelial sodium handling and cellular physiology.
