Abstract
Experiments were designed to compare effects of dexamethasone on transient (Ipeak) and sustained (Isus) K+ currents in control and diabetic rat myocytes. Ventricular myocytes were isolated from control or type 1 streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic male and female rats. Currents were measured using whole-cell voltage-clamp methods. Incubation of cells from control males or females with 100 nM dexamethasone (5-9 h) significantly (P<0.005) augmented Isus (by 28-31%). Ipeak was unchanged. Isus augmentation was abolished by cycloheximide or cytochalasin D, but not by inhibition of protein kinases A or C. Inhibition of tyrosine kinases by genistein (but not its inactive analog genistin) prevented the increase of Isus by dexamethasone. In marked contrast, dexamethasone had a significantly (P<0.015) smaller effect on Isus (11% increase) in cells from male STZ-diabetic rats, as compared to control cells. However, Isus augmentation in cells from female STZ-diabetic rats was normal (31% increase). In ovariectomized-diabetic rats, Isus was unchanged by dexamethasone. The reduced effect in diabetic males might be due to preactivation of tyrosine kinases linking dexamethasone to current modulation. In conclusion, type I diabetes is associated with gender-specific changes in sensitivity of K+ currents to glucocorticoids, linked to alterations in tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
