Abstract

cyclic AMP (cAMP)-induced ion transport in a human sweat gland cell line, NCL-SG3, was investigated by X-ray microanalysis. Stimulation with cAMP caused a decrease in cellular Cl and K content in cells grown on impermeable as well as permeable supports. In cells grown on plastic coverslips or Transwell inserts stimulation with cAMP caused a significant decrease of the Na concentration, but no significant effect on the intracellular Na was seen on cells grown on grids. cAMP had no significant effect on the intracellular Ca concentration.
