RNA isolation and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis In the pituitary, we quantified gene expression of (1) the ACTH precursor POMC, (2) the main processing enzymes cleaving POMC into smaller fragments: proprotein convertase 1 (PC1/3) and proprotein convertase 2 (PC2), (3) the transcriptional regulators hereof, which are themselves regulated at the mRNA levels by CRH, AVP and/or a GR ligand (CRH receptor (CRH-R), AVP receptor (AVP-R), GR, Nur77 and Tpit), (4) a GR-ligand-binding-stimulated inhibitor of CRH-driven secretion of mature ACTH, Annexin A1, and (5) pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF))
5 ml of the resulting solution was adjusted to pH 3.5 and applied to a 8 ml Poros 50 HS (PE Biosystems) column equilibrated with 24 ml 0.42 % w/w citric acid, 40 % w/w 2-propanol, pH 3.5
This consistency suggests that the medication's effects on blood pressure are not merely a byproduct of other changes but represent a genuine therapeutic benefit
