Rat 235-1 pituitary tumor cells are lactotrophs producing high levels of prolactin (PRL). Dexamethasone (Dex, 100 nM) inhibits PRL gene expression in 235-1 cells by 50%, while simultaneously decreasing cell replication and cell-cell aggregation. To determine the time course of Dex action, we used a
## Abstract A macrophageโlike cell line (P388D~1~) has been used to demonstrate that glucocorticoids inhibit the fluidโphase endocytosis of fluoresceinโlabeled dextran (FITCโdextran). Initial experiments demonstrated that the interaction of FITCโdextran with cells had all the features of fluidโphas
