Aldosterone and corticosterone of a larval amphibian exposed to increased salinity

We exposed larval leopard frogs to increased salinity and RU486 (a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist) and tested their influence on waterborne corticosterone (baseline and stress-induced) and aldosterone.

本研究将豹蛙幼体暴露于升高的盐度与RU486（一种糖皮质激素受体拮抗剂）环境中，探究二者对水体中皮质酮（基础水平与应激诱导水平）及醛固酮的影响。
