Effect of cortisol on the physiology of cultured pavement cell epithelia from freshwater trout gills
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cortisol had dose-dependent effects on the electrophysiological, permeability, and ion-transporting properties of cultured pavement cell epithelia derived from freshwater rainbow trout gills and grown on cell culture filter supports. Under both symmetrical (L15 media apical/L15 media basolateral) and asymmetrical (freshwater apical/L15 media basolateral) culture conditions, cortisol treatment elevated transepithelial resistance, whereas permeability of epithelia to a paracellular permeability marker (polyethylene glycol-4000) decreased. Cortisol did not alter the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity or the total protein content of the cultured preparations. During 24-h exposure to asymmetrical conditions, the net loss rates of both Na(+) and Cl(-) to the water decreased with increasing cortisol dose, an important adaptation to dilute media. Unidirectional Na(+) and Cl(-) flux measurements and the application of the Ussing flux-ratio criterion revealed cortisol-induced active uptake of both Na(+) and Cl(-) under symmetrical culture conditions together with an increase in transepithelial potential (positive on the basolateral side). Under asymmetrical conditions, cortisol did not promote active ion transport across the epithelium. These experiments provide evidence for the direct action of cortisol on cultured pavement cell epithelia and, in particular, emphasize the importance of cortisol for limiting epithelial permeability.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
