Effect of l-arginine andd-arginine on cholera toxin (CT) induced net small intestinal chloride and sodium movement
| n | Net Cl− flux (μmol/min/g) | Net Na+ flux (μmol/min/g) | |
| CT | 16 | −12.6 (−15.3 to −11.0) | −16.9 (−18.0 to −15.2) |
| + l-arginine 0.5 g/kg | 11 | −10.67-150(−11.6 to −6.7) | −10.1† (−12.0 to −8.9) |
| +l-arginine 1 g/kg | 10 | −4.4† (−8.4 to −4.0) | −3.7† (−9.8 to −1.8) |
| + d-arginine 1 g/kg | 8 | −12.5 (−14.0 to −11.3) | −17.5 (−20.0 to −13.5) |
Data are expressed as median (interquartile ranges).
