Abstract
⺠Cortisol stimulates Na+ uptake and ammonia excretion in zebrafish larvae through glucocorticoid receptor. ⺠The stimulation of Na+ uptake in larvae during acid-exposure is at least partially mediated by increased cortisol level. ⺠Cortisol stimulates Na+ uptake by stimulating the recently proposed NHE3b-Rhcg1 functional metabolon. ⺠Glucocorticoid receptor is highly expressed in ionocytes responsible for Na+ uptake.
