Zusammenfassung:The leukotriene, LTC sub(4), exerts a stimulatory effect on chloride transport in the frog cornea. In the work described here, the mechanism of action of LTC sub(4) to stimulate chloride transport was studied. The authors have previously demonstrated that the frog cornea has the biosynthetic capacity to produce LTC sub(4). Therefore LTC sub(4) may function as an endogenous regulator of chloride transport in this tissue.
