The rapidly reversible increase in cortical or midbrain tryptophan hydroxylase activity observed ex vivo after exposure of rats to 1-h sound stress was blocked by hypophysectomy, but not sham hypophysectomy, and restored by dexamethasone administration to the hypophysectomized animals (500
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 1033(1), 41-48 (1990-01-29)
Cardiac cytosol from adrenalectomized rats was radiolabelled with 10 nM tritiated RU 26752, R 5020 or aldosterone, to saturate the mineralocorticoid receptor (MCR) in the presence of 1 microM RU 38486 to block the glucocorticoid and progestin receptors. Free steroids

Although the administration of adrenocortical hormones to pregnant rats provokes only limited effect on the growth and development of the fetus, the direct influence of these steroids on cultured embryos has never been studied. The disruption of cell signaling by

To investigate the role of sulfhydryl groups in the interaction of agonists and antagonists with the human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR) the effect of methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) on free and liganded-hMR was examined. hMR was expressed in insect cells (Sf9) using
The American journal of physiology, 258(5 Pt 1), E737-E739 (1990-05-01)
The effect of mineralocorticoid antagonist RU 26752 on the development and maintenance of hypertension produced by long-term administration of mineralocorticoid agonist aldosterone has been investigated. Uninephrectomized, saline-drinking male Sprague-Dawley rats were subcutaneously implanted with either placebo (control) pellets or pellets
