Adrenal Insufficiency Associated Cardiomyopathy, From Molecule to Clinic: A Comprehensive Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Adrenal insufficiency (AI), the lack of glucocorticoids (GCs) production or function with or without a lack of mineralocorticoids (MCs) and adrenal androgens, can result in uncommon but life‐threatening complications like shock, circulatory failure, syncope, arrhythmias, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and congestive heart ...

Balancing Anti-Inflammation and Neurorepair: The Role of Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Regulating Microglial Phenotype Switching After Traumatic Brain Injury. [PDF]
Instead of suppressing all types of microglia, activation of MR by FLUDRO exerts anti‐neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects by promoting the transformation of M1‐like microglia to M2‐like microglia via the JAK/STAT6/PPARγ pathway, promoting VEGF expression and angiogenesis via the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α pathway, increasing the number of survival ...
