摘要: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are secreted by rat adrenal zona glomerulosa cells. Serotonin increases the release of aldosterone, corti-costerone, cortisol from cortex. Therefore, effects serotonin on IL-6 TNF cells were investigated. Cultures enzymatically prepared cultured for 4–6 d. The then exposed to serum-free RPMl-1640 medium containing vehicle (RPMl alone), serotonin, and/or endotoxin, interleukin-1β, or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Following a 5-h incubation, was removed cells, content this determined with bioassays.
