Effects of acute and chronic dexamethasone treatment on stimulated prolactin secretion in the rat.

abstract：:Type 1 angiotensin II (AII) receptors (AT1 receptors), besides stimulation of aldosterone secretion, seem to transduce the growth factor-like activity of AII on glomerulosa cells. Although a local renin-angiotensin system and AII synthesis have been found in human adrenals and aldosteronomas, it is unclear whether ald...
