Comparative effects of growth hormone on water and ion transport in rat jejunum, ileum and colon

Specific growth hormone (GH) receptors are located along the entire rat intestine. We have recently shown that GH induces water and ion absorption in the rat ileum. This raises the possibility that GH regulates water and ion transport throughout the intestine. To test this, we have evaluated the eff...
