Newswise — Article title: Glucocorticoid receptor activation stimulates the Na-Cl co-transporter and influences the diurnal rhythm of its phosphorylation

Authors: Jessica Ruth Ivy, Natalie K. Jones, Hannah M. Costello, Morag K. Mansley, Theresa S. Peltz, Peter W. Flatman, Matthew A. Bailey

From the authors: “Our study demonstrates that glucocorticoids, acting via [the glucocorticoid receptor], are regulators of [Na-Cl co-transporter] activity and contribute to defining activity over the 24-hour cycle.”

This study is highlighted as one of December's "best of the best" as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program.
