The effect of eplerenone on adenosine formation in humans in vivo: a double-blinded randomised controlled study. [PDF]
It has been suggested that mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have direct cardioprotective properties, because these drugs reduce mortality in patients with heart failure.

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 ...

Exclusion of the Locus for Autosomal Recessive Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1 from the Mineralocorticoid Receptor Gene Region on Human Chromosome 4q by Linkage Analysis. [PDF]
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is an uncommon inherited disorder characterized by salt-wasting in infancy arising from target organ unresponsiveness to mineralocorticoids.

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 ...

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.

3D models of lamprey corticoid receptor complexed with 11-deoxycortisol and deoxycorticosterone [PDF]
The serum of Atlantic sea lamprey, a basal vertebrate, contains two corticosteroids, 11-deoxycortisol and deoxycorticosterone. Only 11-deoxycortisol has high affinity [Kd~3 nM] for the corticoid receptor [CR] in lamprey gill cytosol. To investigate the

Temporal and spatial dynamics of corticosteroid receptor down-regulation in rat brain following social defeat [PDF]
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.
