Aldosterone: Essential for Life but Damaging to the Vascular Endothelium

Biomolecules, 2023
The renin angiotensin aldosterone system is a key regulator of blood pressure. Aldosterone is the final effector of this pathway, acting predominantly via mineralocorticoid receptors. Aldosterone facilitates the conservation of sodium and, with it, water

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]

, 2009
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

The Dark Side of Licorice Consumption

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Licorice-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.
