The metabolic cost (in terms of oxygen consumption) of transcellular sodium transport was assessed on ventral frog skin and its isolated epithelial layers, by measuring the decrease in oxygen consumption by the tissue upon transient withdrawal of sodium from the outside solution. The same number of sodium ions was transported per molecule oxygen consumed whole skin (17.4 +/- 2.3) and its isolated epithelium (17.3 +/- 2.4). The metabolic cost of sodium transport could not be estimated properly when this process was blocked by amiloride or ouabain, as these drugs were found to bring about an increase in oxygen consumpton by the tissue when no sodium was available for transport.
