Journal ArticleDOI

Subcellular mechanisms in the action of adrenal steroids.

TL;DR: Understanding of receptor mechanisms, albeit incomplete, provides an explanation of steroid specificity and overlapping physiologic effects and enables us to design new and more potent steroid antagonists and to rationalize resistance or sensitivity of tumor cells to specific steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Na+ transport by rabbit urinary bladder, a tight epithelium

TL;DR: The physiological significance of Na+ absorption against steep gradients in rabbit bladder may be to maintain kidney-generated ion gradients during bladder storage of urine, especially when the animal is Na+-depleted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of cell membrane area in renal collecting tubules by corticosteroid hormones

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that significant changes in membrane area can occur in differentiated epithelia and suggest that this may be an important mechanism for modulating epithelial transport capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aldosterone control of the density of sodium channels in the toad urinary bladder

TL;DR: It is proposed that, following aldosterone-induced protein synthesis, there is a reversible metabolically-dependent recruitment of preexisting Na channels from a reservoir of electrically undetectable channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of Na+-pump sites in frog skin.

TL;DR: The results support a model which depicts all the living cell layers functioning as a syncytium with regard to the active transepithelial transport of Na+.
