Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> channel subunits and Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>, K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>-ATPase isoforms were studied at the mRNA level by in situ hybridisation and northern blotting, and at the protein level by immunocytochemistry and western blotting. The mineralocorticoid responsiveness of electrogenic Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> absorption was evaluated in the two groups by measuring amiloride sensitive electrical potential difference (PD) in the proximal rectum before and 24 hours after oral administration of 1 mg of fludrocortisone.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> channel subunit and Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>, K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>-ATPase isoform expression at the level of mRNA and protein was similar in \u201cyoung\u201d and \u201cold\u201d patients.
