Eplerenone–A novel Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist for the clinical application
Aldosterone is produced from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, which is main mineralocorticoid hormone. Upon binding the mineralocorticoid receptor, it regulates sodium and potassium absorption, secretion, and retention ...

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist use following heart failure hospitalization
Aims Patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF) are at increased risk for events post‐discharge. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) improve the clinical course of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction.

The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Hypertension in Patients With Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]
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 ...

Mineralocorticoid receptor blockade during a rat's first violent encounter inhibits its subsequent propensity for violence. [PDF]
In individuals naive to serious conflict in an unfamiliar environment, violence has long-lasting effects on subsequent aggressive behavior. This effect of the stressful experience of a first violent conflict occurs in victims as well as offenders.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in cardiovascular translational biology
This review examines the role of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in cardiovascular biology and the molecular mechanisms involved in mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism. The data discussed suggest that MRAs can play an important role in decreasing the impact of inflammation and fibrosis on cardiorenal outcomes.
