[Effect of strophanthin on the absorption of sodium and short chain fatty acids from the sheep rumen]. / Vliianie strofantina na vsasyvanie natriia i korotkotsepochechnykh zhirnykh kislot iz predzheludkov ovets.

ABSTRACT

In vivo, intraruminal strophantin administration suppressed the sodium absorption by up to 50% in the sheep reticulo-rumen. Absorption of the shortchain fatty acids was not affected. The findings suggest absence of a combined transport of sodium and short-chain fatty acids' anions in basic and lateral membranes of the reticulo-rumen apithelium in sheep.
