In a previous study, we used a monoclonal antibody, A2, to demonstrate the presence of the lipid droplet-specific capsule in adrenocortical cells and the stimulation of steroid secretion with adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), resulting in the detachment of this capsule from the droplet surface in

Cordyceps sinensis contains a factor that stimulates corticosteroid production in the animal model. However, it is not known whether this drug acts directly on the adrenal glands or indirectly via the hypothalamuspituitary axis. In the present study, we used primary rat adrenal cell cultures to inve
Forty-five 3.5-4-month-old female Wistar rats were maintained in polycarbonate cages (five per cage), with water and food ad libitum. The animals were supplied by the Centro de Investigacio Β΄n Biome Β΄dica de Occidente.
We have investigated the effects of aging on parathyroid hormone (PTH) modulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis and their relationship to signal transduction pathways in isolated rat duodenal cells (enterocytes). PTH (10 Οͺ8 -10 Οͺ9 M) increased enterocyte 45 Ca 2Ο© influx and intracellular Ca 2
