Digestion, Absorption, Transport, and Excretion
• Majority of dietary chloride is absorbed in the small intestine
• Regulated by the kidneys– Conserved by reabsorption in renal tubules– Enhanced by aldosterone

Digestion, Absorption, Transport, and Excretion
• Absorption closely follows that of sodium but with different mechanisms– Cl passively follows Na through paracellular (tight
junction) pathway– Absorbed Na creates electrical gradient that
provides energy for inward diffusion of Cl

Digestion, Absorption, Transport, and Excretion
• Excreted through three primary routes– Gastrointestinal tract– Skin– Kidneys
• Losses closely reflect those of sodium

Digestion, Absorption, Transport, and Excretion
• Major secretory product of stomach• Mechanism: electrogenic chlorine secretion– Only ion actively secreted by epithelium– Cells take up Cl from blood across basolateral
membrane via Na+/K+/Cl- cotransport pathway– Gradient set up by Na+/K+-ATPase pump– Cl accumulating in cells exit through brush border
membrane into lumen (using Cl channels)

Functions and Mechanisms of Action
• Major anion of extracellular fluid– Mostly in association with sodium– Associates with potassium inside cells– Maintains fluid and electrolyte balance
• Aids in preparing food for digestion (as HCl)– Maintain acid-base balance– Activation of pepsinogen to pepsin– Breakdown of protein

Functions and Mechanisms of Action
• Helps kill bacteria– Released by white blood cells during phagocytosis
• Assists in transmission of nerve impulses• Role in enzyme inactivation• Interactions with macroions– Surfaces are modified by counterion atmosphere
enriched with oppositely charged small ions

Functions and Mechanisms of Action
• Acts as exchange anion for HCO3- in red blood
cells (chloride shift)– Requires protein transporter that moves Cl and
HCO3 ions in opposite directions
– Allow transport of tissue-derived CO2 back to lungs in the form of plasma HCO3
-
– Waste CO2 from tissue is converted to HCO3- by
carbonic anhydrase

Interactions with Other Nutrients
• Sodium– Maintains osmolarity and balances in fluid,
electrolytes, and acid-base interactions– Negative charge of Cl neutralizes positive charge
of Na– Use similar pathways for absorption and transport
(electrochemical gradient from Na is needed)• Potassium– Associates when inside cells

Assessment of Nutriture
• Usual serum concentration: 101-111 mEq/ L• Concentration depends on body water status• Two techniques widely used:– Ion-selective electrode potentiometry– Coulometric titration with silver ions

Deficiency
• Diets rarely lack chloride• Occurs chiefly through gastrointestinal tract
disturbance– Heavy sweating– Chronic diarrhea– Prolonged vomiting– Severe dehydration

Deficiency
• Can lead to alkalosis– Excessive loss of chloride ions from gastric
secretion– During continued vomiting, diarrhea, or tube drain– Concentration of bicarbonate ions in plasma are
increased– Main symptom: muscle convulsions

Toxicity
• No known toxicity symptoms for chloride alone– Vomiting– Hypertension (for salt-sensitive individuals)
• High blood chloride concentration can be caused by dehydration due to water deficiency
