Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS:
Cholera toxin induced significant secretion of electrolyte and water in the control Ringer's solution. AlaGln-ORNT and Gln-ORNT solutions reduced the sodium secretory effect of cholera toxin by 128% and 36%, respectively. The net water secretion also was reduced by 95% and 60%, respectively, with the AlaGln-ORNT and Gln-ORTN solutions. CONCLUSIONS:
