title: Interactions between ouabain, atrial natriuretic peptide, angiotensin-II and potassium: effects on rat zona glomerulosa aldosterone production.
abstract: The effects of ouabain, atrial natriuretic peptide, angiotensin-II and potassium on aldosterone production by collagenase dispersed rat zona glomerulosa cells were studied. A-II and 10(-4) M ouabain-induced increases in aldosterone production was inhibited by 10(-9) M ANP at all potassium concentrations examined. 10(-4) M ouabain inhibited the A-II induced increase in aldosterone production at all potassium concentrations. The degree of this inhibition was smaller at higher potassium levels. Ouabain enhanced the inhibitory effect of ANP on A-II-induced aldosterone synthesis at all potassium concentrations. Interactions between A-II, ANP, ouabain and potassium may be of physiological significance in the regulation of aldosterone secretion.
