11β-HSD1 Modulates the Set Point of Brown Adipose Tissue Response to Glucocorticoids in Male Mice.

abstract：:We examined the effects of the polycationic antibiotic, neomycin, on the function of dispersed bovine parathyroid cells. Neomycin caused a reversible, dose-dependent inhibition of low calcium (Ca++)-stimulated PTH release, with half-maximal inhibition at 30 microM. Maximal inhibition (with 200 microM neomycin) was not...
