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 Pathophysiology and Treatment of Hypertension in Patients With Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]
, 2019 When hypertension, a pathology that is frequently found in the general population, presents in a young patient, secondary causes such as Cushing's syndrome (CS), a rare disease characterized by long-term elevated cortisol levels, should be considered ...

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

Temporal and spatial dynamics of corticosteroid receptor down-regulation in rat brain following social defeat [PDF]
, 2001 The experiments explored the nature and time course of changes in glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) binding in homogenates of various brain regions and pituitary of male Wistar rats following social defeat stress.

Vascular dysfunction and fibrosis in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats: the aldosterone-mineralocorticoid receptor-Nox1 Axis [PDF]
, 2017 Aims: We questioned whether aldosterone and oxidative stress play a role in vascular damage in severe hypertension and investigated the role of Nox1 in this process.

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 ...

3D model of amphioxus steroid receptor complexed with estradiol [PDF]
, 2009 The origins of signaling by vertebrate steroids are not fully understood. An important advance was the report that an estrogen-binding steroid receptor [SR] is present in amphioxus, a basal chordate with a similar body plan as vertebrates.
