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

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 ...

Real-World Effectiveness of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Primary Aldosteronism
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 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 (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]
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 ...

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 ...
