Our current understanding of the functional characteristics of Na+-coupled transport systems has been established with the use of a wide variety of model experimental systems and for several different solute transport systems. Different species have been utilized and work aimed at Na+-coupled systems in tissues other than intestine, especially the renal tubule, has often been considered by analogy to point toward similar functional properties for the intestinal epithelium. This diversity of models and extrapolation of related data bases has been highly useful and is the vital force behind most scientific investigation in the biological sciences. At the same time, the diversity of exploration methodology and resultant complexity of a unified interpretation of all intestinal transport data renders a concise summary of properties more difficult. On the one hand, it is tempting to build analogy among related systems to establish useful paradigms for further consideration. On the other hand, it must always be remembered that there will be some differences, not always subtle, when comparing data derived from different tissues or even when comparing functional properties of intestinal tissue among different species. In addition, with new insights regarding function of Na+-coupled transport systems, earlier work may prove to lack appropriate controls, which makes it difficult to provide easy or accurate interpretation of that work in the new context.
