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

Body mass index predicts aldosterone production in hypertensive postmenopausal women
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2020 Hypertension is a common clinical problem, and increased aldosterone is the most prevalent underlying characteristic. Related works have shown exciting results on the effects of various conditions on aldosterone content, but the correlation between ...

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.

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]
, 2009 <b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

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

Adrenal Venous Sampling for Subtype Diagnosis of Primary Hyperaldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021 Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the key procedure for lateralization of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) before surgery. Identification of the adrenal veins using computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative cortisol assay facilitates the success of ...

The Inositol- 1,4,5=Trisphosphate System Is Involved in Rapid Effects of Aldosterone in Human Mononuclear Leukocytes [PDF]
, 1993 There is increasing evidence for rapid steroid action on electrolyte transport in human mononuclear leukocytes (HML). In HML, aldosterone stimulates the Na+/H+ antiporter within a few minutes. Because a variety of hormones and growth factors activate the
