Effect of Adrenal steroid hormones on the response of the toad's urinary bladder to vasopressin

RESUMO

This study was designed to examine the effect of adrenal steroid hormones on the response of the toad bladder to vasopressin. Aldosterone enhanced the short-circuit current response, the osmotic water flow response, and the urea permeability response to vasopressin. Since aldosterone also enhanced the short-circuit current response and the osmotic water flow response to adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate, the steroid effect on the bladder's response to vasopressin appears to be at a step beyond the stimulation of adenyl cyclase.
