We have tested whether separately varying the content of either Na or Cl in diets causes earlier observed increase in Na-coupled sugar and amino acid transport induced by high NaCl diets in hen colon. A comparison was also made between the dependence of the Na-coupled transport on a pure wheat/barley/soya diet against a diet with supplements of essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, as a test for possible elimination of the cotransporters due to a deficient diet. Na/nutrient-coupled transport was measured as changes in short circuit current. The level of expressed Na/glucose cotransporters, SGLT1, due to dietary alterations was followed by quantitative Western blot and immunodetection of SGLT1 in colon, and the dietary effects on plasma aldosterone were assessed as well. An observed switch in transport from amiloride-sensitive electrodiffusive Na transport to phlorizin-sensitive Na/D-glucose cotransport and Na/amino acid-coupled transport is caused solely by increasing Na(+) in the diet. Thus, neither dietary Cl(-) nor the dietary supplements altered the expression of Na(+)-coupled nutrient transport processes. Corroborating these findings, only Na(+) in the diet increased the expression of SGLT1 in colon epithelium and suppressed aldosterone level in plasma.
