Corticosterone binding in myocardial tissue of rats after chronic stress and adrenalectomy. 1981

A Eller, and C Nyakas, and G Szabó, and E Endröczi

Male rats were trained to swim for 9-10 days to assess the effect of chronic stress on the capacity and affinity of specific glucocorticoid binding in the cytosol fraction of myocardial tissue. A significant decrease in the binding capacity for corticosterone (Cpd B) was found 24 hours after the last swimming test, while the affinity constant remained unchanged. Contrary to Cpd B binding, there was no change in the capacity of dexamethasone binding, and there was no decrease in the Cpd B binding capacity in rats which had been adrenalectomized 2 days prior to the training period. We conclude that daily swimming for 9-10 days alters the numbers of cytoplasmic Cpd B binding sites in the face of increased adrenocortical activity, while not affecting dexamethasone binding in the cytosol fraction of myocardial tissue.

D011965 Receptors, Glucocorticoid Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.
