Abstract
The effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae on the bioelectric properties of canine cultured tracheal epithelium was examined. LPS decreased short-circuit current (Isc), and its effects on Isc were reduced when Isc was inhibited by amiloride and indomethacin. We speculate that LPS may selectively inhibit Na+ absorption through the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by airway epithelium.Entities:
