The present experiments were designed to differentiate the effects of aldosterone and chronic potassium loading in the mechanism of colonic potassium adaptation, using a recently described animal model that permits systematic manipulation of aldosterone and dietary potassium. Unidirectional42K fluxes were performed under short-circuit conditions across isolated distal colonic mucosa from rats with intact adrenal glands and in adrenal ectomized, hormone-replaced animals. Administration of a potassium-enriched diet reversed net potassium absorption (+0.43 ± 0.10 μEq/h · cm2) in intact animals to net potassium secretion (−0.76 ± 0.08 μEq/h · cm2). Infusion of aldosterone in adrenalectomized animals, in an amount equivalent to that produced by potassium loading in intact rats, reduced 1netKto zero (−0.03 ± 0.06 μEq/h · cm2). Similarly, zero net potassium transport (−0.14 ± 0.08 μEq/h · cm2) was observed when experimental rats were fed a potassium-enriched diet and maintained with basal aldosterone levels. Therefore, both elevated aldosterone levels and a potassium-enriched diet had an effect on net potassium transport, but neither produced the full effects of chronic potassium loading. An increase in net potassium secretion (−0.57 ± 0.07 μEq/h · cm2) comparable to that of intact potassiumloaded animals did, however, occur when potassium loading and elevated aldosterone levels were combined in experimental animals. These studies demonstrate that (a) chronic potassium loading alters active potassium transport by an aldosteroneindependent mechanism and (b) the mechanism of chronic potassium adaptation represents the additive effects of increased dietary potassium and aldosterone.
