In a patient with diarrhea, the oral administration of a solution containing NaCl and glucose is more effective in preventing dehydration than is the administration of a solution containing only NaCl.

Glucose is used as a fuel to effect the cotransport of Na and Cl across the apical membrane of intestinal epithelial cells c. The cotransport of glucose and Na across the apical membrane of intestinal epithelial cells facilitates Na and water absorption d. The NaCl and glucose solution empties from the stomach at a faster rate than does a solution containing NaCl alone. 5.
