Extra-adrenal glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids: evidence for local synthesis, regulation, and function [PDF]
, 2011 Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are steroid hormones classically thought to be secreted exclusively by the adrenal glands. However, recent evidence has shown that corticosteroids can also be locally synthesized in various other tissues, including ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019 Primary aldosteronism (PA) results from excess production of mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. It is normally caused either by unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) or by bilateral aldosterone excess as a result of ...

Gluco- and mineralocorticoids control adenylate cyclase in specific nephron segments [PDF]
, 1990 Adrenal insufficiency is associated with an impairment of kidney diluting and concentrating ability, defects that may result from alterations of vasopressin-induced adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production. The purpose of this study were 1)
