The effect of osmotic changes on aldosterone production,[Ca2+] i and voltage-gated Ca2+
currents, was studied in cultured rat glomerulosa cells. Alteration of osmolarity by sucrose …

To study the relative roles of sodium (Na+) and calcium ions (Ca2+) in the response of
adrenal glomerulosa cells, we investigated the effects of different Na+ concentrations in the …

Alterations in extracellular osmolality have powerful inverse effects on basal and potassium-
and angiotensin-stimulated aldosterone secretion. With the use of bovine glomerulosa cells …

The aldosterone secretory response of isolated rat adrenal glomerulosa cells to potassium
was studied in a cellperifusion system. Increasing the potassium concentration from 3.6 to …

Calcium influx into adrenal glomerulosa cells is a key event during the stimulation of
aldosterone secretion by physiological increases in extracellular potassium concentrations …

Ionic currents of primary cultured glomerulosa cells from human adrenal glands were
studied with the patch-clamp technique. Two types of outward K+ currents and two types of …

Abstract Voltage-gated Ca 2+-current was identified in single isolated cells of the zona
glomerulosa of adrenal cortex and its properties were studied by the “tight-seal” whole cell …

Because the activity of the sodium pump (Na-K-ATPase) influences the secretion of
aldosterone, we determined how extracellular potassium (Ko) and calcium affect sodium …

Quantitative changes in cytosolic free calcium [(Ca2+] i), membrane potential, and
aldosterone production in response to angiotensin II and extracellular potassium were …

Stimulation of aldosterone secretion by increases in extracellular potassium concentration is
associated with increases in the volume of the adrenal glomerulosa cell. Because increases …
