Intratumoural aldosterone and CYP11B2 expression levels among different genotypes of aldosterone producing tumours [PDF]

Endocrine Connections
Primary aldosteronism is the most common endocrine cause of hypertension, affecting 5–10% of hypertensive patients. Determining the source of aldosteronism is necessary for correct diagnosis and further molecular analysis. To investigate the relationship

Aldosterone is a possible new stimulating factor for promoting vascular calcification

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
Background: Aldosterone is an important hormone in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and playing a pivotal role in the development of hypertension, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases.

G protein–coupled estrogen receptor: a promising therapeutic target for aldosterone-induced hypertension

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Aldosterone is one of the most essential hormones synthesized by the adrenal gland because it regulates water and electrolyte balance. G protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) is a newly discovered aldosterone receptor, which is proposed to mediate the

Comparison of the Chemiluminescence Immunoassay LIAISON® with the Radioimmunoassay for Aldosterone and Renin Measurement

Prague Medical Report, 2021
Determination of renin plasma levels is useful in the diagnosis of hypertension and in the therapeutic follow-up of hypertensive patients. Plasmatic concentration of renin decreases in patients with hypertension due to a primary hyperaldosteronism ...

Pathology and gene mutations of aldosterone-producing lesions

Endocrine Journal, 2023
The human adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone and cortisol as major corticosteroids. For their production, CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 catalyze the last steps in the syntheses of aldosterone and cortisol, respectively.

Aldosterone Decreases Vasopressin-Stimulated Water Reabsorption in Rat Inner Medullary Collecting Ducts

Cells, 2020
Aldosterone indirectly regulates water reabsorption in the distal tubule by regulating sodium reabsorption. However, the direct effect of aldosterone on vasopressin-regulated water and urea permeability in the rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD ...

Dissecting the Effects of Aldosterone and Hypokalemia on the Epithelial Na+ Channel and the NaCl Cotransporter

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is characterized by aldosterone excess and hypertension. This may be linked to increased renal Na+ reabsorption via the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and the NaCl cotransporter (NCC).

Aldosterone Excess Induced Mitochondria Decrease and Dysfunction via Mineralocorticoid Receptor and Oxidative Stress In Vitro and In Vivo

Biomedicines, 2021
Aldosterone excess plays a major role in the progression of cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in clinical diseases such as primary aldosteronism and heart failure. However, the effect of aldosterone excess on cardiac mitochondria is unclear.

Aldosterone induced galectin-3 secretion in vitro and in vivo: from cells to humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Patients with primary aldosteronism are associated with increased myocardial fibrosis. Galectin-3 is one of the most important mediators between macrophage activation and myocardial fibrosis.To investigate whether aldosterone induces galectin-3 secretion

Functional Characteristic and Significance of Aldosterone-Producing Cell Clusters in Primary Aldosteronism and Age-Related Hypertension

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one of the most frequent curable forms of secondary hypertension. It can be caused by the overproduction of aldosterone in one or both adrenal glands. The most common subtypes of PA are unilateral aldosterone over-production
