title: Effects of inhibitors of protein and RNA synthesis on aldosterone-stimulated changes in phospholipid fatty acid metabolism in the toad urinary bladder.
abstract: The effects of an inhibitor of RNA synthesis, cordycepin, and an inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide, on aldosterone-induced changes in lipid metabolism and phospholipid fatty acid composition have been studied in the toad urinary bladder. At the concentrations employed, the inhibitors abolish the hormone-induced increases in total lipid synthesis, phospholipid fatty acid specific activities, and weight percentage of phospholipid long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as blocking the aldosterone-mediated increase in sodium transport.
