Yeah, I was really just poking fun. I just didn't know what a symporter was.

I don't think Americans have any shortage of sodium intake.
As long as they have like 1 meal of fast food a week. :lol:

Basically the cell uses energy to pump out sodium and intake potassium. So eventually it builds up higher sodium concentrations on the outside. If you've done thermodynamics 101 you'd know that this sodium gradient (the difference in concentration as a function of spatial distribution) has free energy. The cell can tap into this free energy source to intake glucose which on its own does not have significantly different concentration differences to allow thermodynamically favourable glucose import.

It usually helps with diarrhea because your intestines lose a shitload of sodium and other electrolytes. If you ever get diarrhea try to figure out what amount of sugar would correspond to the moles of glucose per succrose molecule. The use that to figure out how much salt is needed to give a number of sodium ions that would correspond exactly to the number of glucose moles in the sugar.

And your electrolyte balance is fixed. :happyweed:

Not if you try to take a fart to ease the bowel pressure and then you realise the corpuscular discharge in your pants.

It was the beginning of my shift, and no one saw though.
I told them I forgot my tie or something and high-tailed it home.

I was on meth and wasn't eating much at the time.
