title: Regulation of rat renal (Na(+) + K+)-adenosine triphosphatase mRNA levels by corticosterone.
abstract: We investigated the mechanisms for glucocorticoid regulation of rat renal NaK-ATPase activity. Our findings suggest that the magnitudes of corticosterone-induced increases in alpha 1 mRNA and beta 1 mRNA levels are similar in the kidney of the adult adrenalectomized rats. The results also suggest that corticosterone restores NaK-ATPase activity in adrenalectomized rats prior to any enhanced sodium delivery.
