The Promiscuous Mineralocorticoid Receptor [PDF]
Hypertension, 2016 See related article, pp 897–905 The article by Briet et al1 in this issue, “Aldosterone-induced vascular remodeling and endothelial dysfunction require functional angiotensin type 1a receptors,” represents a prodigious amount of work by the authors: it is not surprising that the first 3 are credited as having equally contributed. The authors build on

The Dark Side of Licorice Consumption
Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical CasesLicorice-induced apparent mineralocorticoid excess is a rare but reversible cause of hypertension and hypokalemia. Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), found in licorice, inhibits 11β-HSD2, increasing renal cortisol and activating mineralocorticoid receptors.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in ESKD [PDF]
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2020 There is an urgent need for interventions that reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with ESKD. Recently there has been considerable interest in whether blocking the effects of the mineralocorticoid aldosterone could be such an intervention.

Pseudohypoaldosteronism in a newborn male with functional polymorphisms in the mineralocorticoid receptor genes [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2015 Hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in infancy can be attributed to various causes, originating from a variety of renal and genetic disorders. Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is one of these disorders, causing mineralocorticoid resistance that results in

The Evolution of Mineralocorticoid Receptors [PDF]
Molecular Endocrinology, 2006 Abstract When the human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR) was cloned and sequenced by the Evans laboratory, its close homology with the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) was noted; subsequently, on the basis of its higher sequence similarity to the GR than to the progesterone receptor (PR) or androgen receptor (AR), MR and GR have ...

Mineralocorticoid Receptor and Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2018 AbstractActivation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the distal nephron by its ligand, aldosterone, plays an important role in sodium reabsorption and blood pressure regulation. However, expression of the MR goes beyond the kidney. It is expressed in a variety of other tissues in which its activation could lead to tissue injury.

Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitors for Cardiorenal Protection: Ready for Prime Time?
Kidney & Blood Pressure ResearchBackground: Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid hormone and the final effector of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This hormone is primarily synthesized by the CYP11B2 enzyme and produced by the adrenal zona glomerulosa ...
