Note. Electrometric measurements (V t and R t) were recorded, allowing calculation of equivalent short circuit current (I eq), from cells grown on filters under control (vehicle) or aldosterone‐treated conditions. Measurements were made before treatment (baseline); 3 hr after treatment (3‐hr treatment) with solvent vehicle or aldosterone (Aldo, 3 nM); and 5 min after exposure to amiloride (Amil., 10 μM). Data are mean ± 95% confidence interval (n = 12). Statistical significance was determined using a repeated‐measures two‐way ANOVA. Where appropriate, multiple comparisons were determined by Tukey's post hoc test.

*

P<0.05, significantly different from vehicle‐treated cells.

#

P<0.05, significant difference between 3‐hr treatment and amiloride.
