Regulation of hormone biosynthesis in guinea pig adrenal glands by potassium ions as affected by dihydropyridines. 1. Analysis of changes in steroidogenesis evoked by dihydropyridines
1991
: Influence of Ca2+ channel modulators BAY K 8644, nitrendipine and newly synthesized derivative of 1,4-dihydropyridine: 4-(3', 4'-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-3,5- diethoxy-carbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-(DHP-51) on aldosterone production by adrenocortical slices depends on K+ content in the incubation medium. The modulators only slightly influence the hormone output at low K+ level in the medium. Intensive synthesis of aldosterone at high level of potassium in the medium was prevented in the presence of DHP-51 and low concentration of BAY K 8644. DHP-51 inhibited [3H]-cholesterol incorporation into all main corticosteroids in the high-potassium medium.
