Intracellular ion concentrations were determined in split skins of Rana pipiens using the technique of electron microprobe analysis. Under control conditions, principal cells and mitochondria-rich cells (MR cells) had a similar intracellular ion composition, only the Cl concentration in MR cells was significantly lower. Inhibition of transepithelial Na transport by low concentrations of ouabain (2 × 10−6m, innerbath) resulted in a Na concentration increase of principal cells from 10.9 to 54.3 mmol/kg wet wt. The increase was completely abolished by simultaneous application of amiloride (10−4m, outer bath). Amiloride alone resulted in a significant decrease of the Na concentration to 6.1 mmol/kg. w. w. Among MR cells, two different groups of cells could be distinguished; cells that showed a Na increase after ouabain which was even larger than that in principal cells and cells that did not respond to ouabain. In about half of all ouabain-sensitive MR cells the Na increase could be prevented by amiloride. According to these results, a subpopulation of MR cells displays the transport characteristics expected for a transepithelial Na transport compartment, an apical amiloride-sensitive Na influx and abasal ouabain-inhibitable Na efflux. Given the small number of cells, however, it is unlikely that this subtype of MR cells contributes significantly to the overall rate of transepithelial Na transport.
