ALDOSTERONE

open access: yesAdvances 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.

Aldosterone signaling through transient receptor potential melastatin 7 cation channel (TRPM7) and its α-kinase domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We demonstrated a role for the Mg2 + transporter TRPM7, a bifunctional protein with channel and α-kinase domains, in aldosterone signaling. Molecular mechanisms underlying this are elusive.

Twenty-Four-Hour Urinary Aldosterone Predicts Inappropriate Left Ventricular Mass Index in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
Objective. Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with inappropriate left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in relation to a given gender and body size. There is no ideal parameter to predict the presence of LVH or inappropriate LVH in patients with PA. We

Alterations in vascular function in primary aldosteronism - a cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction: Excess aldosterone is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Aldosterone has a permissive effect on vascular fibrosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows study of vascular function by measuring aortic ...

Captopril challenge test in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism: consistency between 1- and 2- h sampling

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
ObjectiveTo examine the consistency of plasma aldosterone concentration at 1 and 2 h in the captopril challenge test (CCT) and to explore the possibility of replacing 2-h aldosterone concentration with 1-h aldosterone concentration for diagnosis of ...

The associations of adipokines with selected markers of the renin-angiotensinogen-aldosterone system: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Among obese individuals, increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity results in increased renin and aldosterone production, as well as renal tubular sodium reabsorption.

Despite increasing aldosterone, elevated potassium is not necessary for activating aldosterone‐sensitive HSD2 neurons or sodium appetite

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Restricting dietary sodium promotes sodium appetite in rats. Prolonged sodium restriction increases plasma potassium (pK), and elevated pK is largely responsible for a concurrent increase in aldosterone, which helps promote sodium appetite.

The role of aldosterone and ideal cardiovascular health in incident diabetes: The Jackson Heart Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2023
Background: Greater attainment of ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) and lower serum aldosterone are associated with lower diabetes risk. Higher levels of ICH are associated with lower aldosterone. The mediational role of aldosterone in the association of

Short-term heat acclimation is effective and may be enhanced rather than impaired by dehydration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Most heat acclimation data are from regimes longer than 1 week, and acclimation advice is to prevent dehydration. Objectives: We hypothesized that (i) short-term (5-day) heat acclimation would substantially improve physiological strain and exercise ...

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...
