Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Two mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, spironolactone and eplerenone, are currently approved by the FDA. Several non-steroid based ligands are in clinical trials for indications including heart failure, hypertension and diabetic kidney disease, and even more structurally distinct chemical series are reported in the literature with preclinical data

Cardiorenal benefits of finerenone: protecting kidney and heart
Persons with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high residual risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) complications despite treatment with renin-angiotensin system blockers and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors.

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 ...

New Perspectives on Sex Steroid and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Cardiac Ischemic Injury
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 ...

Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1 with a Novel Mutation in the Gene: A Case Report [PDF]
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare salt-wasting disorder caused by resistance to mineralocorticoid action. PHA1 is of two types with different levels of disease severity and phenotype as follows: systemic type with an autosomal recessive ...

Distinct regulation of hippocampal neuroplasticity and ciliary genes by corticosteroid receptors
Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are of critical importance for maintaining brain health, but their involvement in mental disorders is poorly understood. Here the authors show how GCs act through hippocampal mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors to

Nuclear receptors in vascular biology [PDF]
Nuclear receptors sense a wide range of steroids and hormones (estrogens, progesterone, androgens, glucocorticoid, and mineralocorticoid), vitamins (A and D), lipid metabolites, carbohydrates, and xenobiotics.

Drug treatment of hypertension: focus on vascular health [PDF]
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
