Carbonyl reductase 1 amplifies glucocorticoid action in adipose tissue and impairs glucose tolerance in lean mice

Molecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Carbonyl reductase 1 (Cbr1), a recently discovered contributor to tissue glucocorticoid metabolism converting corticosterone to 20β-dihydrocorticosterone (20β-DHB), is upregulated in adipose tissue of obese humans and mice and may contribute ...

New Perspectives on Sex Steroid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Cardiac Ischemic Injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The global burden of ischemic heart disease is burgeoning for both men and women. Although advances have been made, the need for new sex-specific therapies targeting key differences in cardiovascular disease outcomes in men and women remains ...

The effect of eplerenone on adenosine formation in humans in vivo: a double-blinded randomised controlled study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
It has been suggested that mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have direct cardioprotective properties, because these drugs reduce mortality in patients with heart failure.

Drug treatment of hypertension: focus on vascular health [PDF]

, 2016
Hypertension, the most common preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death, is a growing health burden. Serious cardiovascular complications result from target organ damage including cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, ischaemic heart

Mineralocorticoid receptor overactivation-induced remodeling of obese adipose tissue [PDF]

Xin yixue
Obesity is a chronic disease caused by the long-term interaction of multiple environmental factors on a specific genetic background. Among these factors， the overactivation of mineralocorticoid receptors （MR） plays a significant role in adipose tissue ...

Nuclear receptors in vascular biology [PDF]

, 2015
Nuclear receptors sense a wide range of steroids and hormones (estrogens, progesterone, androgens, glucocorticoid, and mineralocorticoid), vitamins (A and D), lipid metabolites, carbohydrates, and xenobiotics.

Effect of the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist Org 34850 on fast and delayed feedback of corticosterone release [PDF]

, 2007
We investigated the effect of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist Org 34850 on fast and delayed inhibition of corticosterone secretion in response to the synthetic glucocorticoid methylprednisolone (MPL).

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

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 ...
