Severe loss-of-function mutations in the adrenocorticotropin receptor (ACTHR, MC2R) can be found in patients diagnosed with salt-losing adrenal hypoplasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Objective Familial glucocorticoid deficiency type I (FGD1) is a rare form of primary adrenal insufficiency resulting from recessive mutations in the ACTH receptor (MC2R, MC2R).

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

The effect of mild and moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Balcinrenone (previously AZD9977) is a novel selective non‐steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) with a differential mechanism of action relative to approved MRAs. The aim of this trial was to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment ...

MDR-1 C3435T polymorphism may affect blood pressure in resistant hypertensive patients independently of its effects on aldosterone release

open access: yes, 2020
Aldosterone increases plasma volume and may be involved with resistant hypertension. P-glycoprotein is a transporter involved in the distribution and disposition of aldosterone, and is encoded by the MDR-1 gene.

Real-World Effectiveness of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Primary Aldosteronism

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
ObjectiveTo investigate how often target renin is pursued and achieved in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and other low renin hypertension (LRH) treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), as reversal of renin suppression was ...

Hypertension in obesity: A focus on individualized pharmacotherapy and the role of body composition, on behalf of the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Diabetes and Metabolic Risk Factors and Working Group on Lifestyle, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy and Adherence

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Hypertension in obesity represents a major global health challenge, closely linked to the global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Excess adiposity contributes to elevated blood pressure through multiple, interrelated mechanisms, including activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system ...

Primary aldosteronism

open access: yesGland Surgery, 2020
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension caused by excessive and inappropriate secretion of the hormone aldosterone from one or both adrenal glands. The prevalence of PA ranges from 10% in the general hypertensive population to 20% in resistant hypertension, yet only a small fraction of patients is diagnosed.

Aldosterone and inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2010
Aldosterone causes tissue inflammation leading to fibrosis and remodeling in the heart, vasculature, and kidney. We summarize recent data regarding the mechanism(s) through which aldosterone stimulates inflammation.Studies elucidate the cell-specific effects of mineralocorticoid receptor activation on inflammatory cell infiltration and adhesion, and ...

Pt‐TiO2 mesoporous nanosystem co‐delivering phlorezin enables synergistic sonodynamic‐chemoimmunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma via directly targeting DDX5 and metabolic reprogramming modulation

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranking as the third leading cause of cancer‐related mortality globally, continues to pose significant therapeutic challenges. Here, we developed an innovative nanosystem, Phl@PT, based on Pt‐TiO2 nanoparticles for the co‐delivery of Phlorezin, presenting a novel approach for HCC treatment through sonodynamic ...

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

open access: yesEndocrine 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
