Effects of RU486 on aldosterone- and corticosterone-stimulated Isca
Group | Isc (μA/cm2) | |
---|---|---|
-RU486 | +RU486 | |
aIsc was measured on confluent mpkCCDc14 cells grown on filters and incubated without (none) or with RU486 (10-6 M) or with aldosterone (10-9 M and 5 × 10-7 M), aldosterone plus a 20-fold excess of RU486, corticosterone (5 × 10-7 M) and corticosterone plus a 20-fold excess of RU486 for 2 h at 37°C. All hormones and compounds were added to both basal and apical sides of the filters. Values are means ± SEM from three to seven experiments. | ||
