The effect of spironolactone on cardiac and renal fibrosis following myocardial infarction in established hypertension in the transgenic Cyp1a1Ren2 rat.

PLoS ONE, 2021
AimsThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis plays a key role in mediating cardiac and kidney injury. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism has beneficial effects on cardiac dysfunction, but effects are less well quantified in the cardiorenal syndrome ...

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.

Hypertension in mice lacking 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 [PDF]

, 1999
Deficiency of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) in humans leads to the syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (SAME), in which cortisol illicitly occupies mineralocorticoid receptors, causing sodium retention, hypokalemia, and ...

Comparative effectiveness of enalapril, lisinopril, and ramipril in the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure: a propensity score-matched cohort study [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are recommended as first-line therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The comparative effectiveness of different ACEIs is not known. Methods and results:

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists reduce inflammatory signaling independent of myofiber mineralocorticoid receptor

Endocrine and Metabolic Science
Chronic inflammation is a feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a degenerative striated muscle disease. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists (MRAs) have demonstrated clinical benefit on later onset DMD cardiomyopathy, and preclinical ...

Expression of genes encoding mineralocorticoid biosynthetic enzymes and the mineralocorticoid receptor, and levels of mineralocorticoids in the bovine follicle and corpus luteum

The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2019
Unlike sex steroids, mineralocorticoids have attracted limited attention in ovarian physiology. Recent studies on primates have indicated possible local synthesis and action of mineralocorticoids in the ovary.

Finerenone cardiorenal effects and its placement in treatment of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A review

Терапевтический архив, 2023
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite guideline-directed therapy of CKD in patients with type 2 diabetes, the risk of renal failure and
