30 YEARS OF THE MINERALOCORTICOID RECEPTOR: Mineralocorticoid receptor mutations [PDF]
Aldosterone and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) are key elements for maintaining fluid and electrolyte homeostasis as well as regulation of blood pressure. Loss-of-function mutations of the MR are responsible for renal pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1), a rare disease of mineralocorticoid resistance presenting in the newborn with weight loss ...

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