Addition of angiotensin II (0.3 microM) to bovine adrenal fasciculata cell suspensions prelabeled with [32P] induced a rapid (15 seconds) and marked decrease of the radioactivity from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (62%) and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate (35%). This effect was concentration-dependent and specifically inhibited in the presence of (Sar1-Ala8)-angiotensin II; it was also completely prevented in the absence of extracellular calcium. The present data appear to illustrate the earliest biological response detectable in bovine fasciculata cells under angiotensin II challenge.

Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a leading cause of primary aldosteronism (PA), a condition marked by excessive aldosterone secretion. CYP11B2, the aldosterone synthase, plays a critical role in aldosterone biosynthesis and the development of APA. Despite its significance, encoding regulatory mechanisms governing CYP11B2, particularly its degradation, remain poorly understood.

Background: , a Brazilian native species from the Solanaceae family, is recognized as a promising source of bioactive withanolides, particularly Aurelianolide A and B, which exhibit significant antitumoral activities. Despite its potential, research on the chemical constituents of this species remains limited. This study aimed to dereplicate extracts and partitions of to streamline the discovery of bioactive withanolides.

Trypanosomatids are single-celled parasites responsible for human and animal disease. Typically, colonization of an insect host is required for transmission. Stable attachment of parasites to insect tissues their single flagellum coincides with differentiation and morphological changes.

Objective: Changes in postmenopausal hormone levels are associated with a variety of disorders. This study elucidated the mechanism by which follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) increases cortisol production involved in development of menopause-related diseases.
Methods: The expression of FSH receptors (FSHRs) in murine adrenal zona fasciculata (AZF) cells and ATC7 cells was verified by immunofluorescence, western blotting and RT-PCR.
