Effect of aldosterone on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of human peritoneal mesothelial cells
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2015 Background: Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the major causes of technical failure in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the peritoneum is an early and reversible mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis. Human peritoneal

Relationship between aldosterone and the metabolic syndrome in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: effect of continuous positive airway pressure treatment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MS) occurs frequently in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). We hypothesized that aldosterone levels are elevated in OSAHS and associated with the presence of MS.

Advances in Physiology Education, 2002 Aldosterone plays a pivotal role in electrolyte and fluid homeostasis and thus control of blood pressure. The “classical” view of aldosterone action is that it targets epithelia of the distal colon and renal nephron to stimulate Na+(re)absorption and K+secretion.
